5 years of the Centre for Environmental Justice – A Snapshot

June 15, 2026

Recognising that climate change is not only an environmental issue, but also a
housing, health, equality, and ultimately a human rights issue, Community Law &
Mediation established Ireland’s first and only Centre for Environmental
Justice in 2021.


The Centre sits within Community Law & Mediation’s community-based
model. Since its establishment, the work of the Centre has evolved into a busy
and growing annual programme of legal advice clinics, policy and casework,
alongside community-focused talks and webinars to raise awareness of
environmental rights.

Below, you can read a brief 5-year snapshot of all of our work to date.
