Department: Northumbria Law School

Professor Gita  Gill is a tenured full professor of environmental law at the Northumbria School of Law, Northumbria University, UK. Her research interest and published work in leading peer-reviewed journals forms a coherent body reflecting the thematic issues including access to environmental justice, climate change, biodiversity, SDGs, sustainability and good governance in Asia with a focus on India.

In 2013-16, funded by a British Academy grant, she examined the casework and environmental jurisprudence of India's National Green Tribunal. Her research findings were published in Environmental Justice in India: The National Green Tribunal (2017, Routledge UK). In 2019, the book was published in Chinese. Her current BA Grant (2020-23) is titled 'Land Acquistion, Rehabilitation and Resettlement of Vulnerable Poor Communities: Criticalities and Scrutinites of Law in Gujarat.' In 2022, she was awarded a NERC Grant on climate change and UK's decarbonisation agenda.

She acts as an expert academic advisor to prestigious international organisations including the Sabin Centre Peer Review Network on Climate Change Litigation (National Rapporteur on India's Climate Change Litigation), Columbia Law School, New York. Presently, her climate change research is focusing on just transitions and sustainability transformations.
