Climate lawyers

In this episode, we are pleased to share a contribution from Sustainability Talks @Unifr, a podcast created by students at the University of Fribourg as part of the microcertification Sustainability in Practice. saguf supported this student project and is happy to feature selected episodes that bring fresh perspectives to the dialogue on sustainability, transformation, and action. Today’s conversation explores the role of environmental law in practice. Bernadette Keirsey speaks with Gaspard Genton from Avocat·es pour le Climat, a coalition of Swiss lawyers working to strengthen environmental advocacy through legal expertise. Together, they discuss what environmental law looks like in Switzerland, how it connects to broader global developments, and where the field may be heading. The episode also offers insights into current trends, challenges, case law, and entry points for those curious to learn more.
