The Heilbron Lectures 2022 - Prof Lavanya Rajamani

‘Climate Change, and the Radical Potential of Outrage to Advance the Frontiers of Law’ by Professor Lavanya Rajamani.
The 3rd annual lecture was held on Thursday 16 June on the topic of ‘Nature’, and was delivered in the iconic setting of The Old Bailey. Following an introduction from Alderman Alison Gowman, the Sherriff of The City of London, Professor Rajamani delivered her lecture exploring what law can do for nature.
The lecture concluded with a 15-minute Q & A, in which Professor Rajamani was asked topical questions including in regards to ESG and how to make action truly meaningful. She responded by referencing the unfeasibility of making certain environmental action mandatory through the use of sanctions.
Closing remarks were given by our patron, Lady Hale, who described the lecture as “truly outrageous” and “truly inspiring”
