Portrait of Dang Dinh Bach

Dang Dinh Bach, 43, is a community lawyer and has extensive experience in policy advocacy and community lawyering, especially on environmental cases. He led a nonprofit organization in Hanoi called the Law and Policy of Sustainable Development Research Centre (LPSD) from 2011-2021. LPSD conducted legal advocacy on environmental, land use, and industrial pollution cases. Its primary activities are related to facilitating civil society participation and supporting the rights and responsibilities of stakeholders in the social and environmental fields. LPSD also played a role in monitoring the effectiveness and enforcement of the legal and policy framework of sustainable development in Vietnam and its clean energy transition. While Mr. Bach is not known for political activism, some of the cases and projects with which he has been involved are politically sensitive due to their collaboration with environmental organizations based in the United States and funding received from the U.S. State Department and the European Union.
