Conference Concept

The interplay between law and sustainability lies at the heart of building resilient communities for a sustainable future. The complexities and multifaceted nature of sustainability challenges require innovative legal frameworks, policies, and approaches to navigate the intricate web of social, economic, and environmental issues. Accordingly, as scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, it is important to explore the critical role of law in shaping the resilience and sustainability of our communities. This exploration will assist in identifying innovative solutions that help communities navigate the challenges they face and develop policies and strategies that promote their resilience and sustainability. These approaches should be community-driven, evidence-based practices, and transformative initiatives that assist communities. Moreover, developing solutions that promote resilience and sustainability requires interdisciplinary intersections between various disciplines social sciences, environmental studies, technology, economics, law, and many other fields.

Considering the importance of fostering resilient communities’ sustainable solutions to the challenges we face, the Faculty of Law, University of Nairobi as part of the 2023 University Research Week will host a conference under the theme of ‘Law and Sustainability: Navigating Challenges and Fostering Resilient Communities’ OR ‘Resilience, Rights, and Innovation: Exploring Legal Frontiers for Sustainable Development”.
