Join us for a live streaming of this year's annual Garner Lecture. We are delighted to welcome Richard Macrory, CBE, Hon KC, as our distinguished speaker. Richard is one of the leading environmental lawyers of his generation, and has had a significant influence of the development of British environmental law and policy. A UKELA patron, he was also our very first chair.
Richard promises to provide insights from his experiences, and will pose broader questions about the future of environmental law, including:
- We have now created a vast body of specialized laws, but are they providing the answers?
- Do we need to think about some fundamental principles of law to develop?
- And,since enforcement is Richard's number one issue, he will address unfinished business on sanctions, and future challenges on enforcement.

In 2006, led the Cabinet Office Review on Regulatory Sanctions and his recommendations led to profound changes in the design and enforcement of sanctions in England and Wales.

About UKELA
UKELA (UK Environmental Law Association) is the leading membership organisation for anyone interested in environmental law. We encourage collaboration between those interested in environmental law, as well as advising and commenting on relevant issues. Most of our funding comes from membership subscriptions, sponsorship and events income. This means that UKELA is both a strongly independent voice and broadly representative of the sector. As a charity UKELA must provide a public benefit from the money it receives. One of our main aims is to make better law for the environment. We do this by influencing and commenting on the law as it is formulated. See more on our Events and in our Reading Room.
