The students who have followed Legal Geography as a subject in their undergraduate program last semester were invited and participated in the first Awareness Session of the "Green Road trip: Mobilizing Communities for Environmental Justice Across the Country." The session was held on the 29th of July 2023 at Hotel Mirage, Wellawatta, Colombo – 06. Thirty students from the Geography (Hons) second year undergraduates and the principal lecturer of the subject, Lecturer Mr. Indunil Ranwella participated in the event.

This workshop was an initiative of the Centre for Environmental Law and Policy (CELP), University of

Colombo with the collaboration of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to raise awareness about the concept of Environmental Justice among public officers and youth groups in Sri Lanka.

The participation of youth groups in a discourse of this nature is crucial to ensure that the next generation is aware of their duties towards the environment as well as the environmental challenges that lay ahead of their path.

According to the views and the comments of the students and Lecturer, Mr. Indunil Ranwella , it has opened new avenues for the students to explore Legal background of the environment of Sri Lanka from a novel perspective with real-hand field experience.
