Annika Reynolds, Founder of GreenLaw, in interview with The Impact Lawyers
14 July 2020
Annika Reynolds, GreenLaw’s Founder, had the pleasure of sitting down with Alvaro Navarro Sotillos, Editor in Chief at The Impact Lawyers, to talk about GreenLaw’s journey so far and environmental law reform more broadly.
Annika outlined GreenLaw’s main purpose, to empower the next generation of lawyers to understand the importance of environmental law and the power of legal institutions to further climate justice. They also had a great discussion about GreenLaw’s current projects and recent successes.
Alvaro also asked about broader law reform issues in Australia, including whether the Australian judicial system is aware of climate change. Annika replied: “the judiciary is a powerful way for members of the public to hold government decision-makers accountable and ensure our leaders are acting in the public interest…however, there are limits to the judiciary’s involvement in this space.”
