The Legal Path to Sustainable Development: Law and Development Training Programme 2022
A4ID’s law and development training programme (LDTP) provides lawyers with an in-depth understanding of the issues at the heart of the sustainable development agenda, how these relate to their everyday work, and how legal professionals can improve the advice given to their clients on issues relating to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our 6 module programme, delivered by global experts in the field of law and development, provides lawyers with an in-depth understanding of the issues at the heart of the sustainable development agenda, and importantly how the SDGs relate to their everyday work and their clients’ business.

An Introduction to the Law and Development Training Programme
Why should I take this course?
LDTP 2022 will encourage participants to learn how to harness the law to meet the needs of a growing number of clients who are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability frameworks. The programme will focus on the core themes of the SDGs, pursuing the development of specific targets for each goal and how these can be achieved through legal practice.
Running from May to November 2022 across 6 full Saturdays, the programme will offer an opportunity for legal professionals to engage in expert lectures, work with peers for networking and shared learning, and explore real life case studies on sustainability. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a range of other optional activities.

The course has provided me a better knowledge base to advocate within, and engage with, my current law firm to find ways for us all to be more mindful of these issues in private practice, and the practical applications for lawyers and clients alike.

As a commercial lawyer I want to understand how my skill set can lend to development work. The course made it clear how my job and my specific skill set is transferable and what I can do in my actual day-to-day job to improve engagement in these issues.
