Dr Irene Antonopoulos is the first Chief Editor of the Review. Together with an exciting editorial board bringing together people from the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, they aim to amplify the voices of those affected by serious environmental degradation and human rights violations through this accessible forum. In achieving this, the new journal aims to provide opportunities for scholars and practitioners to write and engage with cutting-edge research on the urgent topic of environmental rights, where interdisciplinary approaches address practical applications, and where ideas can be presented discursively with opportunities for responses and evolution. The ERR is a forum for engaging, changing, critical discussion of environmental rights seen broadly, encompassing a wide array interconnecting issues and questions. The new issue is available to read here: https://environmentalrightsreview.com
The next issue is on animal rights, and the call for papers is now out. For any questions or to submit an article for review, please email irene.antonopoulos@rhul.ac.uk.
