The Stanford Bright Award for Environmental Sustainability Celebration 2026 will take place on September 28, 2026, at Paul Brest Hall in Stanford, CA. This hybrid event is organized by the Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy Program (ENRLP) and is open to the public. The evening will commence with a reception at 5:00 PM, followed by the award presentation at 5:30 PM, recognizing Promise Mabilo as the award recipient for her significant contributions to environmental advocacy.
At 6:00 PM, a panel discussion titled "Deadly Air: Community Organizing, Litigation, and the Fight for Environmental Justice" will feature key figures involved in the landmark "Deadly Air" case from South Africa. This case highlighted the impact of industrial pollution on community health and well-being, culminating in a Supreme Court ruling in 2025 that upheld the constitutional right to a healthy environment. The discussion will include insights from Mabilo and Palesa Madi, Deputy Director at the Centre for Environmental Rights, along with Stanford experts, focusing on the intersection of grassroots activism and legal strategies in advancing environmental justice globally.
