About the event

Mónica Feria-Tinta is an award-winning international barrister whose ground-breaking legal work is helping redefine justice for our planet. In her new book, ‘A Barrister for the Earth’, she takes us behind the scenes of ten extraordinary cases where she has defended rivers, forests, species and communities against environmental destruction.

From holding governments accountable to challenging corporate polluters, her work shows how the law can be a powerful force for environmental change.

This is an unmissable event for anyone interested in climate justice, legal innovation and the urgent fight for the rights of nature.
