The "No Fly Zone" Speaker Series brings legal thinkers and actors from around the world to speak virtually about pressing environmental law issues. This series was originally designed as a way to foster national and global knowledge exchange without generating travel-related greenhouse gas emissions—which are amongst academics’ largest contributions to climate change. Just as the series was launched, the COVID-19 pandemic intervened to make a necessity out of virtue. The first “No Fly Zone” event, a keynote talk by Rights of Nature pioneer Mari Margil, was held just two days after the entire University of British Columbia moved online in March, 2020. This series remains a regular feature of the CLE's programming since pandemic-related travel and gathering restrictions were eased. 

“No Fly Zone” talks are free, open to the public and often qualify for continuing legal education credit for lawyers. They are also recorded for subsequent viewing. Look for the distinctive “No Fly Zone” logo next to event listings on our Past Events page!
