Professor Emeritus at the University of Limoges
Scientific Director of the CRIDEAU
Honorary Dean of the Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences of LIMOGES

Project objectives
To study the legalisation of the law for future generations, as its theoretical and practical consequences on environmental law, human rights and society.
To develop a scientific measurement of the implementation of the rights of future generations using legal indicators of effectiveness. Thanks to legal indicators, public authorities and citizens are given a readable tool for the scientific evaluation of public policies so that they can no longer carry out “blind” reforms.
This project will build on Professor Michel Prieur’s unprecedented work published in 2018 by the Francophone Institute of Sustainable Development (IFDD), an agency of the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF), entitled “Legal indicators, tools for assessing the effectiveness of environmental law” (Les indicateurs juridiques, outils d’évaluation de l’efficacité de droit de l’environnement).
On November 22nd and 23rd, we will bring together researchers who have worked on legal indicators in France and abroad to place the state of the art and plan the action to be carried out within the Normandy Chair for Peace in order to promote and test legal indicators in the field of the rights of future generations.
