Sabrina Dupouy

Sabrina Dupouy is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA), specializing in Environmental Law and media regulation. She holds a PhD in Law from Aix-Marseille Université (2016) and focuses on the intersection of ecological transition, public information rights, and legal frameworks for media accountability.

• Education: PhD in Law, Aix-Marseille Université (2016)

Her research examines how media coverage of environmental crises can be legally mandated to ensure accuracy and quantity, particularly through the Digital Services Act (DSA) and institutional reforms to Arcom (France's audiovisual regulator). She co-authored a 2025 article proposing a transpartisan law to institutionalize media obligations for ecological reporting and combat climate misinformation, analyzing tensions between press freedom and information reliability.

In her work, Sabrina advocates for contract-based climate commitments and ethical charters for media outlets, while emphasizing the constitutional right to environmental information under France's 2004 Environmental Charter. She collaborates with the Observatoire de la couverture médiatique de la crise écologique to monitor media content and promote balanced reporting on biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, and climate action.
