environmental law, environmental human rights, the right to clean air, and circular economy law through academic research, public policy engagement, and collaboration with leading national institutions.<\/p><p>Ms. Nattjira Kraithong, Lecturer at the Walailak University School of Law, has made significant contributions to the development of environmental law and public policy through research, academic collaboration, knowledge exchange, and public outreach. Her work focuses on promoting environmental rights and sustainable development in cooperation with government agencies and national academic organizations.<\/p><p>As part of these efforts, Ms. Nattjira was invited by the Secretariat of the House of Representatives to present her research and participate in an interview for the &#8220;Withi Kao Klai&#8221; radio program on the topic &#8220;Legal Proposals for Recognizing the Right to Clean Air in the Thai Legal System.&#8221; The program aimed to enhance public understanding of environmental law and citizens&#8217; environmental rights.<\/p><p>In addition, on March 25, 2026, she served as a speaker at a public consultation on the research project &#8220;The Constitution and the Protection of the Right to Clean Air.&#8221; Held in Bangkok, the event provided a forum for experts to discuss legal mechanisms for protecting environmental rights in Thailand. The project was conducted through the collaboration of the Thammasat University Research and Consultancy Institute and was funded by the Constitutional Court of Thailand.<\/p><p>Earlier, on October 31, 2025, Ms. Nattjira also participated as a speaker at a public consultation on the Draft Circular Economy Promotion Act, where she shared legal perspectives on resource management and sustainable development under the Circular Economy framework. The project was carried out through academic collaboration with the Environmental Research Institute for Sustainability, Chulalongkorn University, with research funding provided by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth).<\/p><p>These activities reflect the Walailak University School of Law&#8217;s ongoing commitment to advancing legal scholarship and public policy in the field of environmental protection.
