SUMMARY:Partner webinar: Ecocide as a new international crime
DESCRIPTION:This webinar hosted by several organisations in the Asia-Pacific region\, including NELA’s partner organisation\, the Asian Research Institute for Environmental Law\, presents an expert panel who will consider the proposed definition for the crime of ecocide.\nThe Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide\, chaired by barrister and author Philippe Sands QC (UK) together with UN jurist and former prosecutor Dior Fall Sow (Senegal)\, was convened in late 2020 at a powerfully symbolic moment\, 75 years after the terms “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” were first used at Nuremberg.\nCommissioned by the Stop Ecocide Foundation\, an expert drafting panel of 12 highly renowned international criminal and environmental lawyers from around the world has just concluded six months of deliberations. The result: a legal definition of “ecocide” as a potential 5th international crime\, to sit alongside genocide\, crimes against humanity\, war crimes and the crime of aggression.\nThe proposed definition of Ecocide is available on the newly launched Ecocide Law website\, an academic and legal resource hub co-managed by the Stop Ecocide Foundation and the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA School of Law.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Legal Protection of the Amazon: Current and Future Trends
DESCRIPTION:Organised by the Western Sydney University School of Law in collaboration with Griffith University’s Tropical Primary Forests and Climate Change project\, Cardiff School of Law & Politics School and Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at the Columbia Law School\, this webinar will shed light on how legislation\, domestic and international litigation\, market-based mechanisms\, and private sector initiatives may contribute to protecting the Amazon. This will be also an opportunity to discuss the outcomes of COP 26 that may be relevant to the Amazon.\nThe Amazon is being led to the ‘point of no return’ \nThe recent Amazon fires of 2019 and 2020 have heightened attention on the region and brought the question of Amazon conservation to the forefront of international debate. The crucial role of primary forests\, such as the Amazon\, in preventing catastrophic biodiversity loss and climate change is largely recognized in the scientific literature and in policy  forums. The latest IPCC report\, described by the UN Secretary General as a ‘red code for humanity\,’ is a call for deep reductions in GHG emissions and the protection of carbon sinks. However\, the trends in agriculture and livestock expansion\, fires\, drought\, logging\, and mining are leading the Amazon to the ‘point of no return’\, as warned by scientists and as recognised by a recent motion passed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Congress in Marseille in 2021. \nThis webinar discusses the recent Special Issue on ‘The Amazon Rainforest’ which was prepared through a collaboration of academics from around the world and published by the Review of European\, Comparative and International Environmental Law (RECIEL).

SUMMARY:Mapping the regulation of mine closure
DESCRIPTION:Mapping the regulation of mine closure: a CRC time project \nPresented by Professor Alex Gardner and Laura Hamblin \nThe project (15 March – 24 December 2021) has three stages in mapping the Australian regulation of mine closure\, focusing on Queensland\, Victoria\, Western Australia and the Commonwealth: \n\nKey concepts\, goals and institutions.\nThe current regulatory frameworks found in the legislation for mining\, environmental protection\, water resources and land use planning.\nThe experience with the current regulatory frameworks & potential reforms.\n\nThroughout the drafting of stages 1 & 2 of the report\, five key points have been identified: \n\nQueensland and Victoria’s legislative regimes have greater statutory detail\, whilst Western Australia relies more heavily on guidelines and policy.\nQueensland and Western Australia use a pooled monetary fund as a form of financial security for rehabilitation. Victoria uses a system of bonds.\nQueensland and Victoria have dedicated administrative bodies which manage mine closure\, whilst Western Australia does not.\nAll three states require mine closure plans to be updated at periodic intervals.\nWhilst mining tenement holders must meet both state and federal regulatory requirements\, when mines are in the closure phase soft law including industry standards is often used as the reference point as it is able to evolve more rapidly.\n\nZOOM details to be circulated prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Advancing and mainstreaming the rights of future generations
DESCRIPTION:If we are to address the multiple and complex issues of our time there can be no more urgent a task than integrating intergenerational thinking into our environmental planning and broader decision making. This can be achieved through the establishment of a Parliamentary Committee for the Future and the appointment of a National Future Generations Commissioner. \nThis presentation will look at the role of the world’s first Future Generations Commissioner in Wales and learnings from their recent review\, as well as the development of The Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill currently in the British Parliament.\nFinally\, and most importantly\, children and young people to actively participate as citizen stakeholders in policy development and decision making. Young people play an invaluable role and have ownership in the future they are creating and inheriting.
