Marta Simonetti is a doctoral researcher within the School of law, SOAS. Her research focuses on environmental rights, in particular the way they can be shaped and expressed outside of traditional law. In this context, she is researching a rights-based perspective in international and national environmental law is an effective approach to achieving the global objectives of stabilising the climate and combat environmental degradation. Specifically, the thesis wants to explore whether localised answers, as expressed in customary law and other forms of non-state law– such as in Adat in Indonesia and Ubuntu in Rwanda –are more or less significant in providing formal and informal tools to ensure ecological balance. These two cases bring important knowledge to the table, as they each present specific characteristics in the way environmental rights are shaped and applied.
