Dr Victoria Jenkins
Victoria is an Associate Professor in the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law where she has worked since 1999. Her research interests lie in environmental law, specifically legal approaches to sustainable development and the way in which land use planning, landscape and nature conservation laws seek to protect natural resources.
Victoria is also co-convenor of the United Kingdom Environmental Law Association Wales, Working Party. This group aims to bring together academics, legal practitioners, non-governmental organisations and others with an interest in environmental protection.
Victoria is particularly interested in the impact of devolution on environmental protection in Wales. She has written a report for UKELA on Wales, Brexit and Environmental Law and completed a Fellowship with the Welsh Parliament on how the sustainable management of natural resources in Wales might be used as a lens through which to explore possible approaches to UK Common Frameworks after Brexit. She has also published widely on approaches to planning and environmental law in Wales, including in the Journal of Planning Law and the Journal of Environmental Law.
