The Geneva Academy’s “Protecting Human Rights and the Environment” course is incredibly well-rounded, featuring lectures and interactive sessions with experts in the field of human rights and the environment – from the course’s lead trainer, Ludovica Chiussi Curzi, an environmental and human rights lawyer involved in many landmark cases past and present to environmental treaty negotiators, academic specialists, civil society leaders and UN officials currently shaping the human rights and environment regime. Getting a handle on the relevant international institutions, instruments and mechanisms in the rapidly changing world of human rights and environmental law can be a bit daunting but I felt fully capable of engaging intelligently in discussions touching on both subjects after completing the course. I would recommend this course to lawyers and non-lawyers alike!
