SUMMARY:Federal Environmental Law reform: past lessons\, priority reforms\, future challenges
DESCRIPTION:Federal Environmental Law reform: past lessons\, priority reforms\, future challenges\nThe Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to its ‘Environmental Law Year in Review Conference’ on Tuesday\, 14 February 2023.  \nIn 2022\, the new Federal Government declared ‘the environment is back’ and took office with an ambitious reform agenda for federal environmental frameworks and climate action. In the face of alarming declines in the state of the Australian environment\, government reform priorities have focused on climate change\, the environment and biodiversity. Starting with the Climate Act 2022\, critical reforms currently underway include improving the integrity of Australian Carbon Credit Units\, responding to the 2020 Samuel Review of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 through the Government’s Nature Positive Plan and co-developing a standalone federal cultural heritage law. \nThis event will bring together academics\, practitioners\, members of the NGO sector\, government officials and students to hear about the implications of these ‘once in a generation’ developments in climate and environmental law. Keynote speakers and panellists will discuss the key shortcomings in existing federal legislation\, the content of reforms and key challenges for Australian governments in implementing these programs successfully. \nTopics will include:  \n\nReforms to the EPBC Act\nEmissions reduction legislation and the energy transition\nFirst Nations cultural heritage\nCOP 15\, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure and national offsets.\n\nRegistration:\n\nFull day in-person attendance: $80 (inc. GST)\nUniversity of Sydney students (full day attendance): Free (Students will need to provide proof of student status at registration.

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. Regulatory action on greenwashing surged\, with increasing scrutiny by the ACCC and ASIC of company sustainability and climate-related claims. ASIC’s case against Mercer marked a historic moment\, and greenwashing continues to be a focus of strategic climate litigation\, including by Greenpeace. \nThis event will bring together academics\, practitioners\, members of the NGO sector\, government officials and students to hear about the implications of these ‘once in a generation’ developments in climate and environmental law. Keynote speakers and panellists will discuss the following topics: \nOutcomes of COP28 \n\nReforms to the Safeguard Mechanism\nSustainable Finance Strategy and mandatory climate-related financial disclosures\nNSW Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023\nReforms to the EPBC Act\nNew Nature Repair Act\nLegal opinion on nature-related risks and directors duties\nThe Vanderstock decision and transport decarbonisation\nGreenwashing regulation and litigation\n\nBook launch and reception \nFollowing the conference proceedings\, the Law School is delighted to invite you to the launch of the third edition of The International Law of the Sea\, co-authored by Professor Don Rothwell\, ANU College of Law\, and Professor Tim Stephens\, Sydney Law School and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. \nThe book will be launched by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC\, Governor of New South Wales. \nFind out more about the book and order it online here. \n Draft program \n\n\n\n9.15\nNature-related risk\, repair and the EPBC Act\nPanelists:\nSamantha Daly – Johnson Winter Slattery\nGabriella Warden – Carbon Market Institute\nRachel Walmsley – Environment Defenders Office\n\n\n10.45\nMorning tea\n\n\n11.15\nCOP28 and climate reform\nPanelists:\nProfessor Rosemary Lyster – University of Sydney Law School\nIlona Miller – Gilbert and Tobin\nKeith Rovers – Minter Ellison\n\n\n12.45\nLunch\n\n\n1.30pm  \nVanderstock – where does it leave us?\nPanelists:\nAssociate Professor Celeste Black – University of Sydney\nRoderick Campbell – The Australia Institute\nDavid Barnden – Equity Generation Lawyers\n\n\n3pm\nAfternoon tea\n\n\n3.30pm\nCombatting greenwashing\nKirsty Ruddock – Environment Defenders Office\nKirsten Webb – Clayton Utz\nMarita Hogan\, Senior Executive Leader in Enforcement and Compliance\, ASIC\n\n\n5pm\nClose and networking reception\n\n\n5.30pm \nBook launch\nLaunch of the third edition of The International Law of the Sea\, launched by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC\, Governor of New South Wales.\n\n\n\n\nRegistration:\n\nFull day in-person attendance: $80 (inc.

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.
