Dahdaleh Global Health Graduate Scholar, Osgoode Hall Law School [FW24-25]
Graduate Student Scholar

Haniehalsadat is currently a PhD candidate at the Osgoode Hall Law School at ¿ì²¥ÊÓÆµ. She has had a longstanding interest in exploring the intricate intersection between law and the environment, with a particular focus on legal mechanisms for environmental protection. This fascination took root during her LLB studies at Tehran University, where she became aware of the importance of environmental policies and their potential to regulate processes that pose threats to people's surroundings.
During her LLB, she recognized that establishing a comprehensive global environmental standard and addressing issues such as climate change necessitates a profound understanding of its drivers, impacts, and challenges. This realization prompted her to delve into environmental studies at the University of Waterloo, seeking to comprehend how policymakers can leverage the principles of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility to effect positive changes in environmental regulation.
Haniehalsadat's academic journey has been marked by extensive research on environmental issues, providing her with valuable insights into the practical implementation and challenges associated with environmental policies, particularly within the financial sector. The amalgamation of her LLB and environmental studies degree has not only deepened her understanding of the world but has also aligned seamlessly with her dual passions for law and the environment.
Motivated by this synergy, she aims to explore a pivotal question: how can environmental regulations compel foreign investors to be environmentally accountable at the international level? This research endeavour represents the culmination of her academic trajectory, merging her legal background with a keen dedication to addressing global environmental challenges.
