This is the second session in a monthly series focusing on Global Environmental Rule of Law.


Join the Environmental Law Institute and expert panelists for the second part of our series on the United Nations report: Environmental Rule of Law: Tracking Progress and Charting Future Directions. The recent challenges and advancements of environmental rule of law can be categorized under four general themes: development and use of technology; COVID-19; climate change; and social and environmental justice. In this second installment of the series, we will discuss how development and use of technology impacts environmental rule of law.

Recent technological advances can potentially transform environmental implementation, compliance, and enforcement. Satellite and drone technology provide new tools for monitoring compliance with environmental laws and regulations, while social media and citizen science platforms create mechanisms for increasing public engagement in enforcement. Artificial intelligence can support both development and implementation of environmental laws. Our panelists will discuss how these technological advances have affected the environmental rule of law and how they might be used for future implementation.
