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. She is also a Senior Research Fellow of the Asia IP and Technology Law Project at the University of California\, Berkeley\, School of Law. Her teaching and research interests are in international business and economic law\, private international law and Chinese law. She also has extensive professional experience in Sydney\, New York and Hong Kong\, specialising in international commercial law\, with a focus on foreign investment and commercial transactions in China and the Asian region. \nDr Drossos Stamboulakis is Lecturer at Monash University\, and is admitted to practice as an Australian Lawyer. He is the Deputy Convenor of Monash’s Commercial Disputes Group\, and coaches the Monash Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot team. His research spans commercial arbitration\, comparative law and private international law\, and intersections with biodiversity and sustainability. \nProfessor Jay Sanderson is an interdisciplinary scholar with degrees in law\, science and psychology. He is currently Professor and Head of School of USC’s School of Law and Society. Jay’s main areas of research focus on the social and doctrinal developments of laws related to plants\, agriculture and biodiversity. He is currently working on projects that examine biodiversity and BioTrade; and the use of trademarks and certification. \n\n \nChair\n\nAssociate Professor Stacie Strong is an Associate Professor at Sydney Law School  specialising in private international law\, international arbitration\, international mediation and comparative law.

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.
