SUMMARY:Re-imagining the laws of nature - storying the rules of hyperconnected futures
DESCRIPTION:Re-imagining the laws of nature – storying rules of hyperconnected futures\nOnline event \n\n\nIn this seminar\, Dr Michelle Lim\, Sydney Law School’s George Flannery Fellow\, argues that rewriting legal systems to include more-than-human perspectives and employing creative writing in legal scholarship can help address global biodiversity loss\, reimagine law\, and foster hopeful\, normalised human-nature relationships. \n\n\nEach drop a ripple\nConcentric circles collide\nTears spiral to hope? \nMaria Ojala (2017) defines hope to include ‘active coping in the face of hardship’. With the very real hardship of global extinction\, I argue that form is as important as content when exploring active coping amidst planetary scale social-ecological upheaval. I contend further\, that blurring the lines of form and content enables plural worldviews and understandings of natural worlds. \nThe sheer existence of our more-than-human kin is disappearing on our watch. The IPBES Values Assessment attributes this unprecedented global biodiversity loss to the prioritisation of instrumental values. In other words\, dominant worldviews\, which emphasise nature’s use and its usefulness to humans\, are a fundamental underlying driver of the catastrophic loss of nature. Creative forms of expression present an important means of engaging emotionally with nature’s intrinsic and relational values. Dominant legal systems\, however\, largely reflect and entrench dominant value systems which foreground the instrumental values of nature. Current laws mostly focus on safeguarding individual rights and property – and by extension the values of nature that can be easily traded in markets. \nMichelle Lim contemplates what it would mean to rewrite legal systems with the more-than-human. She considers how storying with nature may allow the re-imagination of law – and of dominant\, destructive ways of understanding nature. She argues that creative writing\, as a methodology in legal scholarship (and other disciplines)\, could contribute to the realisation of radically hopeful futures and the normalisation of human-nature relations. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker \nDr Michelle Lim is an Associate Professor of Law and a Lee Kong Chian Fellow at the Yong Pung How School of Law\, Singapore Management University\, Singapore. Michelle’s work focuses on futures-oriented biodiversity law aimed at advancing equity and sustainability under conditions of unprecedented environmental change. She is increasingly interested in approaches which allows affective engagement with scholarship and explores ways which challenge the form of scholarship including through creative and imaginative means of expression. \n\n\n\n\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nTuesday 2 July 2024\nTime: 5.30-6.30pm  \nYou will receive Zoom details closer to the date of the webinar. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\n\nThis event is presented by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at the University of Sydney Law School in partnership with the Sydney Environment Institute.

SUMMARY:2024 ACCEL Environmental Law Year in Review: Spotlighting Climate Change\, Nature Repair\, Transport\, and Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:2024 ACCEL Environmental Law Year in Review: Spotlighting Climate Change\, Nature Repair\, Transport\, and Greenwashing\nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to its Environmental Law Year in Review Conference on 8 March 2024. \nIn Australia and around the world\, 2023 was a significant year for climate and environmental law reform. To keep 1.5°C within reach\, COP28 called on governments to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels. An ambitious environmental agenda was pursued by the Australian Government\, including reforming the Safeguard Mechanism and advancing a framework to require financial risk disclosures related to climate change. \nBiodiversity loss and the risk of ecosystem collapse continued to drive a variety of developments. The global Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures finalised a voluntary framework to assist organisations in reporting and acting on nature-related issues. A groundbreaking legal opinion also highlighted the need for directors to consider nature-related risks. The Australian Government passed the Nature Repair Act 2023\, creating the framework for a voluntary national nature repair market\, and consulted on complex changes to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999\, including the establishment of a new national environment authority – Environment Protection Australia. \nMeanwhile\, the High Court\, in a 4:3 decision\, held that the Victorian electric vehicle road user charge was unconstitutional\, raising broader questions about road infrastructure funding and the role of states in transport decarbonisation.

SUMMARY:2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda
DESCRIPTION:2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda\nIn-person event \nThe United Nations Secretary-General’s Acceleration Agenda spells out the actions needed from government\, business and finance leaders to accelerate their efforts to deeply cut emissions and deliver climate justice to protect lives and livelihoods. In the context of climate justice and drawing from the 2019 report of the Task Force on Justice\, the Address will focus on two key thematic issues: climate change displacement and climate change litigation. Based on Dr Fry’s recent reports to the Human Rights Council (June 2023) and the UN General Assembly (October 2023)\, it will begin by discussing climate change displacement and the absence of appropriate legal measures for people displaced across international borders due to climate change. The Address will then focus on climate change litigation and barriers to accessing justice for people defending their right to live in a world free from climate change impacts. \nSpeaker: Dr Ian Fry (Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change)\n\nThis event forms part of a full-day conference on climate action. For further information\, click here. \n  \nRegistration \n\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $40\nStudent rate: $20\n\nTuesday 31 October 2023\nTime: 5-7pm (Cocktail reception from 5-5.30pm) \nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Climate litigation against companies in a comparative perspective
DESCRIPTION:Climate litigation against companies in a comparative perspective\nIn-person event \nIn this seminar\, Prof M Marc-Philippe Weller (Heidelberg University) takes the spectacular 2021 Milieudefensie v Shell ruling from a first instance court in The Hague as an opportunity to identify cross-jurisdictional problems of civil climate change litigation from a comparative perspective. \nThe Shell case was the first climate action between private parties that was successful in the first instance and led to Shell’s obligation to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions\, including its Scope 3 emissions. From the perspective of legal realism\, the Dutch ruling provides a momentum for climate litigation worldwide. However\, from the perspective of potential lawsuits for the reduction of CO2 emissions against companies in Germany\, one must assert that the Shell ruling cannot simply be transposed into the German legal order. \nDiscussant: Dr Katherine Owens\, Director of the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law. \n\nAbout the speaker\nProf. Dr. Marc-Philippe Weller\, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Heidelberg University \nProf. Marc-Philippe Weller has been Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Heidelberg University since 2019. He was appointed Professor for Private Law\, Company Law\, Private International Law\, and Comparative Law at Heidelberg University in 2014. As Vice-Rector\, Prof. Weller is responsible for the international partnerships of Heidelberg University\, in particular the 4EU+ European University Alliance (Sorbonne\, Copenhagen\, Geneva\, Heidelberg\, Milan\, Prague and Warsaw)\, as well as the Heidelberg University’s centres abroad in Santiago de Chile\, New York\, Delhi\, and Kyoto. He is also in charge of legal compliance. \nProf. Weller studied Law at the universities of Heidelberg and Montpellier\, and earned his doctorate at Heidelberg University in 2004\, while he was also employed as an associate advocate. He completed his habilitation at the University of Cologne in 2008. Before accepting the appointment to Heidelberg University\, Prof. Weller held a Chair at the University of Mannheim from 2008 to 2011\, and at the University of Freiburg from 2011 to 2014. He has been a visiting professor at universities in Austria (Vienna)\, France (Paris)\, Sweden (Goteborg)\, Taiwan and the USA (Georgetown). Prof. Weller has also directed two summer courses at the Hague Academy for International Law. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nWednesday 30 November\nTime: 12-1pm\nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School.\nLocation: The University of Sydney\, Boardroom\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10) \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\n\nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Centre for International Law and the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law.

SUMMARY:Building resilience in Australia's electricity infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Building resilience in Australia’s electricity infrastructure\nOnline conference \nAustralia has been hit by successive extreme weather events and disasters in recent years. As the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report has warned this is going to get worse. Australia has already warmed by 1.4° C. Each of the climate-induced disasters – floods and bushfires – has had a severe impact on our electricity infrastructure. When power is lost\, telecommunications also fail meaning that communities are unable to stay in contact with emergency services and with each other. This conference assesses ways in which our existing grid can be made more resilient but it also looks to the resilience of our future grid in 2040. Experts from the disciplines of law\, engineering\, and physics\, in Australia and the United States\, will share their perspectives on how this can be achieved. \n__________________________________ \nThursday 10 November 2022\, 9am-4.30pm AEDT\nClick here to view the program. \nThis event is being held  online.

SUMMARY:ACCEL NextGen Series: Realism in the Corporate Sphere - Greenwashing and Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL NextGen Series: Realism in the Corporate Sphere – Greenwashing and Net Zero\nTHIS EVENT IS BEING HELD ONLINE AND IN-PERSON AT SYDNEY LAW SCHOOL. \nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law invites you to a panel discussion on the Australian Centre for Corporate Responsibility’s case against Santos. Developed and chaired by the ACCEL interns\, this event forms part of the ACCEL NextGen Series. \nAlthough corporations are increasingly responding to the climate crisis through implementing sustainability targets and promoting ESG practices within their day-to-day business\, environmental law has begun to focus on ‘greenwashing’: the deceptive persuasion of a company to the public that their policies and protocols are environmentally friendly. \nThe Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility (“ACCR”) has recently filed a landmark case in the Federal Court against Santos\, one of Australia’s largest oil and gas companies. This is the first case in which a company’s net zero emissions target has been challenged\, as well as being the first relating to the viability of carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) and the environmental impacts of blue hydrogen. \nThe ACCR filed their case initially on the basis that Santos engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in claiming that CCS is able to make gas a “clean fuel.” The ACCR alleges that the pathway for net zero emissions that Santos mapped out in its 2020 Annual Report for reaching its sustainability goals is not substantiated by scientific evidence. \nIn August 2022\, the ACCR amended pleadings to include additional claims arising from Santos’ 2020 Investor Day Briefing and their 2021 Climate Change Report. Allegations include that ‘blue hydrogen’ production would actually increase Santos’ greenhouse gas emissions and that CCS is not practical to capture all of Santos’ increased emissions. Further\, ACCR claims that their net zero plan does not account for the expected projected emissions and production growth from oil and gas exploration. \nYou will hear from those directly involved in the landmark case and from experts in the field of environmental law and corporate citizenship. \nPanelists:\nDr Sebastian Hartford Davis\, Barrister\, Banco Chambers\nProfessor Christopher Wright\, The University of Sydney Business School\nSally Torgoman\, Partner\, Infrastructure\, Assets & Places\, KPMG \nAbout the event \nThe panel will delve into the potential implications of the case\, such as the role of environmental law in enforcing corporate responsibility and how it can be harnessed to push corporations beyond mere ‘box-ticking’ of ESG requirements. Further\, the panel will explore how corporations can balance financial stability and their sustainability goals in keeping with legal obligations\, considering the future of this developing area of the law. \n\nWednesday 19 October 2022\, 1-2pm AEDT\nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is being held an online and in-person at Sydney Law School. Please indicate your viewing preference when registering. \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Speaker Address: Can climate litigation save the planet?: the role of climate attribution science
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Speaker Address - Can climate litigation save the planet?: the role of climate attribution science\nSpeakers: Dr Petra Minnerop\, Durham University and Dr Friederike Otto\, University of Oxford and Global Climate Science Programme\nLitigants are increasingly approaching the courts in the face of inadequate action by governments and corporations on climate change. Plaintiffs want compensatory damages for losses incurred as a result of the defendants’ greenhouse gas emissions\, or are asking courts to compel governments and corporations\, to reduce their emissions. They also want financial institutions to stop financing the construction of high-emitting infrastructure\, and banks and businesses to disclose their exposure to the financial risks associated with climate change. \nThis Distinguished Address shows how climate attribution science assists with establishing the all important causal relationship between the defendants’ emissions and the plaintiffs’ losses. \nSpeakers\nDr Petra Minnerop is Associate Professor of International Law at Durham University where she is also the University’s Academic Lead for COP 26\, Co-Director of the Global Policy Institute and Co-Director of the Research Centre Law and Global Justice. Prior to joining Durham Law School\, Petra has held academic positions at the Universities of Dundee\, Munich and Göttingen\, and worked as Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law\, Heidelberg\, and at the Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law\, Heidelberg. She is a member of the Bar in Germany. \nDr Friederike Otto is an Honorary Research Associate of the Environmental Change Institute\, University of Oxford\, and an Associate Professor in the Global Climate Science Programme. She leads several projects understanding the impacts of man-made climate change on natural and social systems with a particular focus on Africa and India. Fredi is the co-lead of World Weather Attribution (WWA)\, an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events. In 2019 Fredi was named one of New Scientist’s ‘Ones to Watch’ and in 2020 climate change attribution was named one of MIT Tech Review’s top ten breakthrough technologies. In 2020\, Fredi became one of just 10 international climate scientists to join the core writing team of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Synthesis Report of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) \nChair: Professor Tim Stephens\, The University of Sydney Law School \nRunning order\n6pm Welcome to Country delivered by Yvonne Weldon\, and introduction by Professor Stephens\n6.10pm ACCEL 2021 Distinguished Address\, Associate Professor Petro Minnerop and Dr Friederike Otto\n7.15pm Q&A\n7.30pm Close \n  \nThursday 9 December\, 6-7.30pm AEDT \nThis is an online event held on Zoom.  \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at The University of Sydney Law School.  \n  \n(Banner image sourced from Canva)

SUMMARY:How Private International Law Can Make the UN Sustainable Development Goals a Reality
DESCRIPTION:How Private International Law Can Make the UN Sustainable Development Goals a Reality\n\nThe clock is ticking. We have until 2030 to implement the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals if we are to achieve a “better and more sustainable future for all.” \n\nLaw plays a crucial role in reaching ambitious goals such as ‘No Poverty’ (SDG #1)\, ‘Affordable and Clean Energy’ (#7) and ‘Climate Action’ (#13). But until now\, the role of law in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals has been limited to public international law and relations between nations. Missing from the commentary has been the vital role to be played by private law\, particularly private international law\, which is essential for the implementation of cross-border contracts and the resolution of cross-border disputes. \nAn exciting new project brings together a team of legal experts from around the world to demonstrate how private international law can make each Sustainable Development Goal a reality. \nJoin some of these pioneering legal minds as they discuss the results of their research and the path ahead for our world. \n\n\n\n\nOrder of proceedings\n  \n\n1. Introduction to the SDGs and the project\nProfessor Verónica Ruiz Abou-Nigm and Mr Hans Van Loon \nThese presentations will address the sustainable development goals\, the interaction of and issues presented by private international law\, and the objectives and recommendations of the project. \n2. SDG 9: Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure\nProfessor Vivienne Bath \nThis presentation will address the impact on\, and interaction of private international law with\, the construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure and the potential role of regulatory private international law. \n3. SDG 15: Life on Land\nDr Drossos Stamboulakis \nThis presentation considers the global governance role that private international law can\, and arguable should\, play in achieving SDG 15 through the facilitation and incentivization of private action geared at environmental protection and sustainability. Chapter written by Dr Stamboulakis and Professor Jay Sanderson. \nChair\nAssociate Professor Stacie Strong \n  \n\nSpeakers\n  \n\nProfessor Verónica Ruiz Abou-Nigm is Senior Lecturer in International Private Law at Edinburgh Law School. Professionally qualified as a solicitor in Uruguay\, with extensive practice in international litigation\, her research focuses on the intersections between private international law and various other disciplines\, within and beyond law\, including maritime law and migration studies. Her scholarship promotes the transnational mobilisation of private international law\, developing knowledge in which private international law can foster intercultural integration\, contributing to accommodate different legal traditions and cultures in cross-border cases. \n\n\nMr Hans Van Loon is an independent international consultant. He is a member and vice-president of the Institut de droit international. He practiced as a lawyer before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands and the European Court of Human Rights\, and was as a deputy judge in the Hague District Court. He joined the secretariat of the Hague Conference on Private International Law in 1978\, being appointed also as Secretary of the Netherlands Government Committee on Private International Law\, and was the HCCH’s Secretary General from 1996-2913. He contributed to the creation of a dozen Hague Conventions on private international law and to the amendment of its Statute to enable Membership of the European Union\, and is a member of the European Group for Private International Law. \nProfessor Vivienne Bath is Professor of Chinese and International Business Law in the University of Sydney and Associate Director – International of the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the University of Sydney.

SUMMARY:Climate extremes on the road to Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Climate extremes on the road to Glasgow\n\nRecent climate-induced extreme weather events and disasters around the world have resulted in loss of life\, property\, infrastructure and livelihoods and have severely disrupted the normal functioning of the societies which they have impacted. \nThe IPCC’s 2021 Sixth Assessment Report confirms that these events are likely to become more frequent and more intense as greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures rise. \nYet international climate change negotiations have delivered outcomes that are entirely inadequate to meet the goal set by the Parties to the Paris Agreement of keeping the rise in average global temperatures below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial temperatures. \nThe question is what we can expect to be resolved at the negotiations in Glasgow. \n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n\nTime\nPresentation\n\n\n6-6.15pm\nWelcome and Introduction by Professor Rosemary Lyster\, Sydney Law School\n\n\n6.15 – 6.35pm\n‘Climate change and our land of extremes’\, presented by Professor David Karoly\, Climate Science Centre\, CSIRO\n\n\n6.35 – 6.55pm\n‘Impacts of the changing climate extremes on Australia’s natural and human systems’\, presented by Professor Lesley Hughes\, Macquarie University\n\n\n6.55 – 7.15pm\n‘The Global Investment response to the Paris Agreement: Accelerated Engagement driving Rapid Change’\, presented by Martijn Wilder AM\, Founding Partner\, Pollination.\n\n\n\n  \nAbout the speakers:\n\n\nProfessor David Karoly\, Climate Science Centre\, CSIRO \nDavid Karoly is a Chief Research Scientist in the CSIRO Climate Science Centre.

SUMMARY:9th Frontiers in Environmental Law Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:9th Frontiers in Environmental Law Colloquium\nThis colloquium will be held on 16-17 February at The University of Sydney Law School \nThe annual Frontiers in Environmental Law Colloquium provides a forum for environmental law academics and practitioners to share and discuss their experiences\, research\, and teaching practices. \nThrough this forum\, we aim to: \n\nFoster a supportive and inclusive network of like-minded individuals;\nExplore innovative environmental law ideas and insights within and beyond our discipline;\nContribute meaningfully to the future of environmental law in our region;\nShare approaches to teaching and learning in environmental law; and\nAssist environmental law academics to actively build their careers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColloquium Theme for 2023: \nA Half Century of Environmental Law: Where to From Here? \nThis year marks fifty years since the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm\, a conference that led to the creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the first international instrument to broadly recognise the dependency of humans on the natural world\, the Stockholm Convention. Over the past fifty years\, we have\nwitnessed the maturity of environmental law as a discipline\, as major multilateral agreements including the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Biodiversity Convention\, as well as\nthe Rio Principles have shaped domestic environmental laws around the world\, and a body of scholarship has concurrently developed. \nAs we enter the second half of environmental law’s first century\, we are facing an extinction crisis that is being exacerbated by a climate crisis. Australia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts as we struggle to adapt to major species losses and frequent extreme weather events. The urgency of this situation has prompted an increasing volume of litigation\, both in Australia and abroad\, and calls to reform environmental and climate laws that are not working. We invite you to reflect with us on the relevancy of environmental law’s pioneering sentiments today\, in light of what is needed to secure a stable future. \nProgram \nClick here to view the program (updated on 8/2/23) \nRegistration \nFull fee: $100 per person\nDinner (optional) – on Day 1\, Thu 16 February\, 6pm at Thai Pathong\, Newtown: $50 \nRegister here. \nVenue \nSydney Law School\, New Law Building (room tbc)\nThe University of Sydney \nNearby hotels \nLocal hotels to University campus\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis conference is hosted by the University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28
DESCRIPTION:ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address and Panel Discussions: Legal accelerants for climate action: taking stock for COP28\nIn-person event \nClimate action is more urgent than ever. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached its highest point in at least two million years\, and climate change is causing widespread\, and unequal\, adverse impacts on nature and people (IPCC\, 2023) . In order to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and prevent the worst impacts\, developed countries must reach net zero by 2040\, and emerging economies by 2050. Despite this\, current policies will lead to a 2.8°C temperature rise by 2100. In a time when we should be accelerating our efforts\, we backslide.  \nIn November\, leaders will gather at COP28 for the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement. The process for preparing the next cycle of Nationally Determined Contributions will also be launched.  \nThis event will bring together leading researchers and professionals ahead of the COP to provide insights on how to conceptualise\, develop and implement legal and governance tools to accelerate deep decarbonisation\, adaptation and address loss and damage\, on a whole of economy basis. Against the backdrop of the UN’s 2023 Acceleration Agenda\, experts will discuss the various dimensions of legal acceleration to ensure a more equitable transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient global economy. \nThe 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Address will be delivered by Dr Ian Fry\, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights in the context of climate change. Dr Fry will discuss important human rights and justice dimensions of the UN’s Acceleration Agenda\, including the need to integrate human rights standards and principles into accelerated climate action.  \nThe Distinguished Address will be supported by a series of panels in which leading experts will discuss the role and potential of legal accelerants in the context of climate finance\, climate litigation\, law and nature and the law of the sea. Speakers include Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\, Zoe Whitton (Pollination) and Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office). \nDraft schedule\n8.30am Registration \n9.00am: Welcome and opening remarks \n9.15am: Legal acceleration and the role of climate litigation \nSpeakers: Dominique Hogan-Doran SC (5 Wentworth)\, David Barnden (Equity Generation Lawyers) and Zoe Bush (Environmental Defenders Office) \n10.30am: Morning tea \n11am Climate finance and accelerated climate action \nSpeakers: Arjuna Dibley (Sustainable Finance Hub\, University of Melbourne)\, Gareth Bryant (University of Sydney) and Kate Owens (ACCEL) \n12.30pm Lunch \n1.30pm  Nature restoration and the acceleration agenda \nSpeakers: Gerry Bates (University of Sydney)\, Emma Carmody (Restore Blue)\, Rachel Walmsley (Environmental Defenders’ Office)\, Rachel Killean (Chair\, University of Sydney) \n3.00pm Afternoon tea \n3.30pm Climate change and the Law of the Sea \nSpeakers: Ian Fry (Special Rapporteur)\, Tim Stephens (University of Sydney)\,  Frances Anggadi (University of Wollongong) and Chester Brown (Chair\, University of Sydney)   \n5.00pm Cocktail reception \n5.30pm 2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: Human rights\, climate justice and the UN Acceleration Agenda \nRegistration – now open\n\nFull day: $100\nPanel Discussions only: $70\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $40\n\nStudent rates\n\nFull day: $50\nPanel Discussions only: $35\n2023 ACCEL Distinguished Speaker Address: $20\n\nTuesday 31 October 2023\nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A) \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform
DESCRIPTION:Restoration Law and Finance Conference: Legal and Financial Obstacles to Rehabilitation\, Rehydration and Regeneration of Land and Water and Options for Reform\nIn-person event \n  \nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to Australia’s inaugural ‘Restoration Law and Finance Conference’ on Thursday and Friday\, 7 & 8 December 2023. \nThe Australian Federal Government has committed to ‘preventing\, halting and reversing the loss of nature’ by signing up to The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration\, publishing the Nature Positive Plan (2022) and introducing the Nature Market Repair Bill (2023). As stated in the recently released Independent Review of the NSW Biodiversity Act 2016\, chaired by Ken Henry\, it is time to move ‘beyond biodiversity conservation to a “nature positive” framing that emphasises the need to repair past damage and to take urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss\, putting nature on a path to recovery\, so that thriving ecosystems can support future generations’. \nTo achieve this\, legal and financial barriers to restoration need to be addressed urgently. \nThrough a series of keynotes\, presentations and panel discussions\, the conference will bring together a diverse range of speakers\, including Indigenous experts\, lawyers\, investors\, restoration practitioners and government officials to discuss the legal and financial barriers to restoring nature across a range of land tenures\, and workable solutions to address these issues. Federal initiatives for nature positive repair are unlikely to succeed unless these challenges are confronted head on. \nSpeakers include: Dr Justine Bell-James (Associate Professor\, University of Queensland Law School); Dr Gerry Bates (University of Sydney); Dr Louise Camenzuli (Partner\, Corrs Chambers Westgarth); Dr Emma Carmody (Restore Blue); Rohan Clarke (Regen Farmers Mutual); Raeleen Draper (Senior Natural Environment Project Officer (Blue Heart)\, Sunshine Coast Council); Veda FitzSimons (Associate Director\, Pollination); Carolyn Hall (CEO and Managing Director\, The Mulloon Institute); Dr Ken Henry (Economist\, Non-Executive Director of the Australian Securities Exchange\, Cape York Partnership and Accounting for Nature Ltd.); Fiachra Kearney (Forever Wild); Stella Kondylas (The Nature Conservancy); Jock Mackenzie (EarthWatch); Grantley Smith (Restore Blue); Heidi Mippy (Noongar and This-Man-Warriyangka woman\, Curtin University); Associate Professor Brad Moggridge (University of Canberra); Stephen Murphy (Conservation Partners); Claire Smith (Partner\, Clayton Utz); Professor Ben Richardson (University of Tasmania Law School); James Trezise (Biodiversity Conservation Council); Laura Waterford (Director\, Pollination); Cassandra Stevens (Director\, Kullilli Bulloo River Aboriginal Corporation) \n  \nView the program and read speaker bios here (Updated 7 December 2023) \n  \nThursday 7 – Friday 8 December 2023\nVenue: Law Foyer\, Level 2\, New Law Building (F10)\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n  \nThis event is hosted by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) at Sydney Law School and is proudly supported by Mills Oakley.
