This environmental law training organised by the Bar Council Environmental and Climate Change Committee (“ECCC”) has a threefold purpose:
The training is led by Roger Chan Weng Keng, Chairperson of ECCC, who has spoken and debated on many environmental law issues in fora, both local and international. His methodology forewarns limitations to the conventional approaches to environmental law. Therefore, he introduces real-life environmental conundrums and abandons seeming solutions in environmental laws that are not helpful to environmental activism. In the group exercises in this training, he will be assisted by equally passionate members of ECCC.
The training will focus on:

The Malaysian Government recently stated that it is still conducting a study on harnessing nuclear power to meet the nation’s future energy needs. However, non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) have responded that the Government is not being transparent with how advanced plans are, and that there has been an absence of sincere public consultation. More worryingly, NGOs are warning against the dissemination of false information by the nuclear industry and other vested interests.
This forum comes at a crucial time because the Malaysia Nuclear Power Corporation, which is tasked with assisting the Government to decide about embracing nuclear power, was expected to get Malaysia “nuclear-ready” by the end of 2013. The Economic Transformation Programme lists the deployment of nuclear power by 2021.
Admission is free but kindly register in advance using the registration form posted here.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (“TPPA”) crops up in the news every now and then, each time with renewed urgency and indication that it would be formalised and executed towards the end of this year.
Unless we refocus on a new set of assumptions, economic considerations will remain the main thrust of policy decisions on the TPPA. These decisions are likely to rely heavily upon exploitation, rather than conservation, of scarce environmental resources. Here is where the substantive human rights vulnerable to environmental degradation must assume significance in light of the TPPA.
On the other hand, many questions of procedural environmental rights such as the right to information, right to public participation, right to adequate remedies and the right to be consulted — which are the prime ingredients of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration on Sustainable Development — are in danger of being brushed aside with the anticipated signing of the TPPA. These are but some of the procedural concerns that are inextricably linked to the right to life.
This forum will examine some of the abovementioned environmental issues in the context of the TPPA. It will also evaluate some basic environmental safeguards such as the precautionary principle, the polluter-pay principle, intergenerational rights, and the key players and institutions.
Saha Deva s/o A Arunasalam, Climate Change Coordinator of the Bar Council Environment and Climate Change Committee, will moderate the forum.
