UCC Centre for Law and the Environment launches new ‘Law and the Environment Podcast’ series.

19 Sep 2024

The new series features interviews with UCC Centre for Law and the Environment faculty members, focusing on their work, upcoming events, ongoing research and projects being undertaken at the centre.

In episode one of the series, our host, Dr Marie Aronsson-Storrier speaks to PhD Researcher, Niamh Guiry.

Niamh Guiry, BSc (UCC), LLM (UCC), is an IRC-EPA PhD scholar at the School of Law, UCC. Her research explores the interrelationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global environmental governance, and evolving patterns of international law-making. Niamh is an environmental activist and has a keen interest in biodiversity protection, climate justice, and environmental education.

Last year, Marie and Niamh both attended the COP 28 Global Summit in Expo City, Dubai, as part of University College Cork's Student, Academic and Researcher Delegation.

In this first episode, Marie and Niamh reflect on their experience of the COP 28, their motivations to attend, their key takeaways and learnings.
