SUMMARY:The ASEAN Environmental Rights Framework and Opportunities for Australia
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \nOver the past three years\, the Asian Research Institute for Environmental Law (ARIEL) has been working with the ASEAN Environmental Rights Working Group (AER WG) established by the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) on the development of an environmental rights framework for ASEAN. Following three AER WG meetings\, a draft document has been released for stakeholder consultation. It must be noted that this document\, the “Draft ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Rights”\, is not a final document. The AER WG will meet again in early May to consider amendments to the document and to review submissions received during the stakeholder engagement process. To assist with the stakeholder consultation plan and future discussion on environmental rights in ASEAN\, ARIEL has established a website https://www.environmental-rights.net/ \nIn Australia\, the Joint Commonwealth Parliamentary Committee has been examining options for a Charter of Rights for Australia. Submissions to the inquiry have now closed\, and public hearings have been held. A number of environmental law groups made submissions urging the Committee to adopt provisions for the right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment and the procedural rights found in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration – access to information\, public participation and access to justice.  \n Some submissions called on the Committee to recommend that Australia adopt the Aarhus Convention.  \n In this regard\, the webinar seeks to: \n●      Introduce the draft ASEAN Environmental Rights Framework \n●      Review the current discussion on environmental rights in the current Draft Charter of Rights. \n●      Consider how Australia could undertake an Aarhus Convention review to see what changes are required for Australia to comply with existing environmental and procedural rights norms. \n  \nTo register\, please use the QR code above.

SUMMARY:NELA Webinar Series: Rethinking the Origins and Future of Australian Environmental Law
DESCRIPTION:Join us and environmental law experts\, Professor Benjamin Richardson and Matthew Austin\, to explore the origins and future Australian environmental law against the backdrop of significant environmental law upheaval. \nOur webinar ‘Rethinking the Origins and Future of Australia Environmental Law’ will explore the history of Australian environmental law\, the importance of reform\, and the role of national laws in promoting environment protection and restoration. \nMore about the webinar \nOur speakers will each give a short presentation\, before answering any questions from our viewers in a facilitated discussion. \nProfessor Richardson will speak about the misconceptions surrounding the history of Australian law reforms\, where historically the law profession was not active in law reform. Instead\, scientists\, journalists\, artists\, and bushwalkers pushed the reform agenda. Professor Richardson will explain why improving the nation’s current environmental laws is constrained by major\, systemic obstacles from the past. \nMatthew Austin will delve into the development of environmental law from a practitioner’s perspective\, discussing how significant case law and legislative changes have altered the public and private sectors’ understanding of environmental law. \nMore about the speakers \nBenjamin J. Richardson is a Professor of Environmental Law at the University of Tasmania. He has held academic positions in universities in Canada\, England\, New Zealand\, and the Netherlands\, including as a Canada Research Chair at the University of British Columbia before moving to Tasmania. Professor Richardson is currently completing an Australian Research Council-funded project on the role of conservation covenants to help Australia meet its 30 x 30 targets. His latest book\, Before Environmental Law: A History of a Vanishing Continent\, examines the origins and making of Australian environmental law. \nMatthew Austin is a Partner at King & Wood Mallesons\, specialising in environment\, planning and resources law. Matthew has over 25 years of experience advising a wide range of development\, infrastructure\, government\, resources and renewables clients. Matthew provides specialist advice on the operation of various State and Federal environment and planning assessment and approvals processes. He advises on major project approvals processes and other project facilitation options\, as well as acting for clients on environment and planning disputes\, carbon markets\, compensation and land acquisition claims. \nRegistration closes at 4.00pm on 28 April 2024. A Zoom link will be sent out following the close of registration. For any enquiries please contact events@nela.org.au.

SUMMARY:NELA Webinar Series: Environmental Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nJoin NELA for our February Webinar on Environmental Constitutionalism. \nMore about the event and speakers \nAssociate Professor Dr Ron Levy  \nAssociate Professor Dr Ron Levy is a researcher on constitutional law at the Australian National University. He is the winner of several research and teaching awards and grants. His works explore referendums in deeply divided societies\, Indigenous constitutional reform and environmental constitutionalism. His recent paper on the latter is Ron Levy\, ‘Fixed Constitutional Commitments: Evaluating Environmental Constitutionalism’s “New Frontier”‘ (2022) 46(1) Melbourne University Law Review 82. \nLevy will be speaking about the global emergence of a type of ‘fixed’ constitutional provision that secures both a substantive environmental policy and its precise quantum of protection. These features are intended to curtail the vagueness\, open-endedness and interest-balancing that are standard in environmental constitutional rights. He will discuss existing cases from New York\, Bhutan\, Kenya and Victoria\, and also assess the possibility of future fixed constitutional commitments in the area of climate change. \nAssociate Professor Lulu Weiss \nLael (‘Lulu’) Weis is an Associate Professor at Melbourne Law School. Her research uses philosophical and comparative methods to analyse issues in constitutional theory\, including: legislation as a source of constitutional meaning; the significance of amendment for constitutional interpretation; and understanding constitutional duties\, such as directive principles. Her current research project explores principles of green (non-anthropocentric) constitutionalism and how constitutions allocate institutional responsibility for environmental protection. Lulu holds a PhD in Philosophy from Stanford University and a JD from Stanford Law School. She is a General Editor for the journal Comparative Constitutional Studies. \nLulu’s presentation will involve discussion of environmental constitutionalism and how it often focuses on the promise of impact litigation\, which seeks the direct judicial enforcement of constitutional environmental rights\, such as the right to a clean and health environment.  But this picture is misleading: most environmental constitutional provisions are formulated as duties rather than rights\, and are designed to be given effect by legislation rather than direct judicial enforcement.  This Webinar will consider the implications of these duties and legislation-based aspects of environmental constitutionalism.
