They dedicated their lives to him!

Lawyers Corinne Lepage and Christian Huglo have with determination, rigor and ingenuity contributed for more than 50 years to writing environmental law.

They have carried out lawsuits against industrial pollution, unnecessary infrastructure projects, unscrupulous multinationals, pesticides, GMOs ... and recently against the French State which does not respect its commitments to limit climate change.

Their journey is inspiring, in particular for those who lead the same battles in other countries, sometimes risking their lives.
