RELIEF works towards a just transition to a sustainable society.
We develop new theories, methods, and approaches to understand how different parts of the legal system, including various actors and legal sources, interact. We also promote practical action to tackle climate change, protect and enhance biodiversity, and prevent pollution.
Our goal is to turn a better understanding of the legal system into reforms that support lasting, sustainable change. RELIEF brings public and private actors together through its distinctive approach. By encouraging meaningful dialogue, we build a strong network that advances sustainable solutions and helps reshape the legal system to support sustainability.
The project’s main output is a practical transformation toolkit. It will help public authorities, businesses, and civil society understand how the legal system works and put different strategies for change into practice.
