MDEHR is thrilled to announce that Delegate Vaughn Stewart will be joining John Knox, Professor of International Law at Wake Forest University and former Un Special Rapporteur for Human Rights and the Environment in our first program of Fall MDEHR Webinar Series on Tuesday, September 20 at 12pm.

John will talk about the UN Resolution for the Right to a Healthy Environment that was passed by the UN Human Rights Council in October, 2021 and by the UN General Assembly in July, and what this means globally.

Delegate Vaughn Stewart will be our moderator asking John Knox about the implications and impact of passing these resolutions at a global level and what this could mean for our advocacy work in Maryland. There will also be an opportunity for questions from our webinar participants.

Join us for this unique opportunity to hear a conversation with Delegate Vaughn Stewart and John Knox, an expert on human rights and the environment on September 20 at 12pm! RSVP today!
