“I’m the green lawyer from Indonesia,” says Fawzia, one of the few lawyers in her class. Fawzia interned at the local affiliate of giant global law firm Baker & McKenzie after earning her law degree from the University of Indonesia, then worked with a joint forestry programme between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Germany. The experience left her with not only a basic command of German, but also a desire to return home after earning her degree at the school to start of think tank tackling environmental issues.
