The Eco Jurisprudence Monitor is an interactive online platform that compiles ecological jurisprudence initiatives globally as well as related resources for researchers, lawyers, policymakers, and activists. The rapid growth in the number of ecological law initiatives, as well as their varied legal and cultural expressions, presents an obstacle to those seeking to advance more ecocentric legal and governance systems to help enact the change needed to address looming environmental crises. Our intent is to broadly identify culturally distinct expressions of ecological jurisprudence and create common tools for analyzing them in order to foster global discussion and future ecological jurisprudence expressions, and to create a portal that inspires new research and frameworks.

The Eco Jurisprudence Monitor was developed by an international group of independent scholars and researchers through a collaborative process. These researchers comprise the Steering Committee of the GARN Academic Hub, which serves the Monitor’s managing board.
