Environmental Management and Law Association

Established in the image of the US Natural Resources Defense Council, EMLA has grown into a public interest legal advocacy office where Hungarian environmental legal experts engage in both litigation and research covering local, national, regional and international spheres. EMLA, a membership organization, also has a scientific branch coordinating multidisciplinary approaches (involving businesses, students and professionals) to address Hungary's pressing environmental needs. Its mission is to create and implement legal and management mechanisms to promote environmental reform and sound policy in a democratic, free market Hungary.
