📅 Date: Monday, October 20, 2025

⏰ Time: 9:15 – 11:00 CET

💻 Format: Online

Join us for a lecture titled “Dirty Deeds, Legal Needs – A Comparative Study on Adopting Environmental Crime Laws in India, the USA, China, and Australia”, which will explore how different jurisdictions address the pressing issue of environmental crime through their legal frameworks.

The lecture will analyze the structure of laws, enforcement efficiency, and judicial involvement in combating environmental offences. While the USA and Australia have long-established systems with robust enforcement and clear penalties, India and China continue to develop their frameworks through policy reform, improved monitoring, and public engagement.

The comparative perspective highlights that the effectiveness of environmental law depends not only on the existence of regulations but also on their implementation and the cooperation between state institutions and citizens.
