NHLD is proud to announce that our final-year Environmental Law and Policy students took their learning beyond the classroom by leading a collaborative urban plantation drive with CBD Lahore. They identified a sustainable site, coordinated logistics, and planted 100 ornamental and shade-giving saplings—all with the goal of combating urban heat, improving air quality, and contributing to climate resilience. This hands-on project was led by Wajeeha Javed, Javeria Ashiq, Aqsa Taj, Ayna Amanat, Fizza Bashir Naul, Warisha Zahoor Mir, Aliza Mussarat, and Shahtaj Bukhari, and was supported by formal acknowledgment from the CBD Authority and course instructor Ms. Mehak Imtiaz. We're proud of our students for putting environmental law into practice.

NHLD is pleased to share that our collaboration with the Research Society of International Law (RSIL) has successfully concluded with the completion of an illuminating four-part lecture series on "New World:
Old Wars - Armed Conflicts in 2025."
Led by Ayesha Malik, Deputy Director at RSIL, Lahore, Team Lead at the Conflict Law Centre, Senior Research Fellow, and a distinguished expert in war law, this series delivered nuanced insights into the legal frameworks governing today's most complex geopolitical challenges.
The series examined four critical conflict scenarios:
• Russia-Ukraine
• Israel-Palestine
• Emerging technologies in warfare
• South China Sea disputes

We appreciate the insightful series, which integrated historical context with forward-looking analysis, providing practical approaches to navigating the law of war. Our sincere gratitude goes to Ayesha Malik and RSIL for their expertise and commitment to advancing this critical discourse.

NHLD is grateful for hosting a seminar on 'Human Rights, Business, and Faith: to Exploring the Critical Intersections Shaping Pakistan's Future'. Dr. Sikander Shah, Associate Professor, SAHSOL, LUMS, highlighted the legal challenges facing religious minorities and proposed policy reforms to address economic barriers, emphasizing the need for both legislative action and social transformation. Mr. Gregory G. Clark and Dr. Christina J. Clark from the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation demonstrated the powerful correlation between religious freedom and economic prosperity, sharing evidence that inclusive business environments drive innovation while supporting minority rights.

The discussions revealed how protecting religious freedoms creates a virtuous cycle: inclusive societies foster economic growth, which in turn strengthens rights protections. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and implementing the practical strategies shared by our speakers.
