Advisory Committee

ELI is partnering with experts around the globe to form the Biodiversity Adaptation Law Advisory Committee to assist in implementing the project. This Advisory Committee includes environmental lawyers from six countries characterized by high biodiversity (Uganda, Madagascar, Peru, Dominican Republic, Bhutan, and Vietnam). These six countries represent different regions, legal systems, biomes, and challenges to biodiversity associated with climate change; as such, the Advisory Committee helps to ensure that the materials developed through this project are widely relevant and useful.
