Global Academy (Hybrid) on Natural Resource Law & Governance
14-24 April 2026 | Turin, Italy
The Grassroots Institute (Canada), International University College of Turin (Italy), Yaroslav Mudriy National Law University (Ukraine), Uzhgorod National University (Ukraine) and Western Caspian University (Azerbaijan) are co-organizing “Global Academy (Hybrid) on Natural Resource Law & Governance 2024” (GA-NRL 2026) at Torino/Italy for 45 in-person Delegate Participants and for a 300 (virtual) Speaker Participants. Full details of the program are online at the website https://www.grassrootsglobal.net/ga26/
GA-NRL 2026 is to build perspectives and capacities of law graduates, young teachers, policy researchers, practitioners, professionals, policy workers and future leaders on natural resources law, sustainable development, environmental policy and resource governance, and linking world’s sustainability by integrating principles of globally important solutions and governance perspectives.
This 10-days global training course examines the linkages between natural resources and legal instruments, legal tenets of managing natural resources, and governing the resources for sustainable conservation. Depicting on case studies and case laws from a wide range of the current natural resources across the globe, the course considers how different social, political, economic and gender aspects influence the legal implications surrounding the natural resources. The course also examines how environmental activists and their interventions conserved parks, water, forests and land in the face of the commercial threats from extractive industries and destructive projects. The course will consider how the current international and development system elaborates and processes to sustainably manage the available natural resources. The course aims at equipping lawyers, researchers, students, practitioners, professionals and teachers seeking refined knowledge and skills for meeting the challenges of sustainable use of natural resources globally. This 10-days international training program will be executed in partnership and collaboration with various academic and practice-oriented organizations. The course will take place in Turin (Italy) by streamlining a fine and competent expertise of African, European, Asian, North American, South American and Pacific region professors, lawyers, researchers and activists.
This international training program is a hybrid of training and symposium modes. It will consist of moderation and facilitation by the International Faculties side by side the short lectures by Delegate Participants. The participants or delegates will not act as mute listeners or learners, but they will be given at least 50% time to speak and present their papers and articles through oral presentations using appropriate (audio-visual) aids. Such a hybrid combination (model) of capacity building rarely exists in scientific domains. Unlike conventional conferences, symposium or seminars, this innovative program will NOT conduct parallel sessions; instead, all sessions will operate in one lecture hall where all participants/delegates will listen and attend all faculty members and all delegate/participant speakers.
