The Yale Environmental Law Association (YELA) aims to build community among YLS students interested in the environment and climate change. YELA seeks to draw attention to all aspects of our natural and built environment through community events, panels and reading groups, and opportunities to serve historically marginalized and frontline communities in the fight for environmental justice. YELA places special emphasis on creating a community that is anti-racist, sustainable, and equitable for all students. Accordingly, YELA prioritizes events centered on racial equity and justice within the environmental movement.
We welcome everyone to join us, regardless of prior environmental background or experience. In 2022-2023, we plan to offer a variety of programming. We invite new members to be as involved as they would like and welcome any and all feedback.
