Climate Change, Protesting & The Media: What's The Link?

Today's episode of Yours Lawfully focuses on understanding the interconnections between climate change protests, and what, if anything, the law and media have to do with it all. This topic will be explored particularly from the perspective of climate change protesters, specifically within the Just Stop Oil movement, and the future restrictions their human rights will face from the facilitation of UK's new Public Order Act 2023. To consider this intersection, particularly from a climate change activism perspective, we decided to talk to Mathilda Lorkin, an alum from Queen Mary who has studied environmental and international law extensively in both the UK and France. Mathilda's research and expertise lies in understanding the rights of indigenous peoples and the ways in which they're impacted by climate change. You can listen to her podcast, 'Terra Nuillis' here.
