Democratising Education for
Global Sustainability and Justice

Sharing new law and policy knowledge, skills and networks to empower learners making a difference worldwide.

This programme, co-hosted by Lucy Cavendish College and Hughes Hall at the University of Cambridge, in partnership with leading Cambridge and international expert institutions, engages current and future law and policy leaders especially from highly climate vulnerable countries, in implementing sustainable development commitments.

Our Mission

This programme aims to democratise education on sustainable development law and policy and to strengthen capacity by developing and delivering online courses. Leading colleges of the University of Cambridge are widening participation by making education available worldwide to current and future law and policy leaders, and by convening and supporting global engagement and communities of practice.
