People Places Planet Podcast by the Environmental Law Institute

Sep 22, 2023

From the minds of the team behind the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE) out of Washington comes the People Places Planet Podcast!

This podcast is a must-listen for members with an interest in environmental protection as host Sarah Backer conducts cutting-edge, thought-provoking conversations about current issues central to environmental law and governance.

People Places Planet Podcast is one of several titles delivered by ELI to build upon their pivotal role in shaping the fields of environmental law, policy, and management, domestically and abroad, over the last 50 years.

Listen to the latest episode of the People Places Planet Podcast: ‘Not All Environmental Rights Amendments Are Created Equally: The Climate Science Behind Held v. Montana

In this week’s ‘court watch’ episode of the People, Places, and Planet podcast, Host Sarah Backer and guests ELI Staff Attorney Jarryd Page and Science Fellow John Doherty, dive into how the youth-led constitutional climate case of Held v. State of Montana incorporated climate science and the implications that Judge Kathy Seeley’s decision might have for future climate litigation. Jarryd and John both work for ELI’s Climate Judiciary Project (CJP). CJP collaborates with leading national judicial education institutions to provide neutral, objective information to the judiciary about climate science and how it interacts with the law.
