SUMMARY:Construction and Demolition Products: Challenges and Opportunities in Western Australia
DESCRIPTION:There is a strong appetite for increasing the recovery of materials and decreasing waste in Western Australia. Recently the State Government has: \n\nrun a large program for the receipt of public submissions on the papers ‘Closing the Loop: Waste reforms for a circular economy’ and ‘Review of the waste levy – consultation paper;’\nplanned to introduce the Container Deposit Scheme in October 2020; and\npublished the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 which outlines the aim to increase the recovery of material in the C&D Sector to 80% by 2030.\n\nWith this in mind\, the Construction & Demolition industry\, a sector which makes up around half of Western Australia’s waste stream\, is primed for innovation. \nThis seminar brings together leading specialists to present their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the future uptake of recycled construction and demolition products in Western Australia.

SUMMARY:Frontiers of Environmental Law Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The annual Frontiers in Environmental Law Colloquium provides a forum for environmental law \nacademics and practitioners to share and discuss their experiences\, research and teaching practices. Through a supportive forum\, we aim to: \n\nFoster a supportive and inclusive network of like-minded individuals;\nExplore innovative environmental law ideas and insights with 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\nColloquium Themes for 2020\nEnvironmental law is wide-ranging in its scope and ambitions and draws from diverse legal traditions \nand techniques as well as multi-disciplinary and theoretical knowledge. As in previous years\, we invite papers that engage with the ideas of frontiers and boundaries. There are four key themes for the 6th Colloquium in 2020: \n\nJurisdictional insights: exploring contemporary environmental law developments and future\nhorizons in specific jurisdictions (state and Federal)\, as well as comparative analyses across Australian state and/or national boundaries;\nLaw in action: examining the practical application of law on-the-ground\, including implementation issues\, critical analyses of case law\, compliance and non-compliance concerns\, and the challenges of law enforcement;\nTowards best practice: showcasing innovative approaches to current environmental problems\, particularly in the areas of natural resource extraction (living and non-living\, marine or terrestrial)\, and environmental law responses to our changing climate; and Multi-disciplinarity: highlighting methodological challenges and substantive issues at the\nintersection of environmental law and science\, technology\, engineering\, economics\, culture and the Arts etc.\n\nAbstract submission\nWe invite proposal for research presentations on any of the above themes\, and/or in relation to \nteaching environmental law. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words and submitted using the attached abstract proposal form.
