Environmental Law Center (ELC)

The Environmental Law Center has its roots from the Environmental Law Counseling center of the Korean Anti-Pollution Movement Association (KAPMA) in 1991 and evolved as a Legal Advise Office in 1993. It was 1997 when such office developed as an independent Environmental Law Committee after becoming an affiliated organization of KFEM on the 21st of February, 2000.

The center is the first environmental group in Korea to have a lawyer working as a full time member of the staff where more than 100 lawyers participate in activities as directors, steering committee, and members. These members have participated in numerous environmental lawsuits and achieved legal success such as halting the national’s Saemangeum project, nullifying the Nakdong river construction plans under the Four Major River Project in 2011 as well as demanding compensation for damages from humidifier disinfectants through legal actions in 2012 and 2014.
