This one day conference will consider how environmental laws can be reformed to accommodate climate change and sustainable development concepts\, internationally and in Western Australia. A panel of eminent speakers has been assembled to address these important issues. \nEnvironmental protection statutes around the world generally have limited capacity to deal with climate change and sustainable development. Traditional models of causation and remoteness of damage\, for example\, do not relate easily to climate change related events\, with the consequence that governments may look to innovative models to transfer climate risk to the private sector. \nRecognising the international nature of these issues\, the International Bar Association (IBA)\, as the global voice of the legal profession\, established in 2014 an expert Working Group to draft a model climate law statute. \nThe model statute is designed to be a resource for legislatures\, government departments and judiciaries\, with potential statutory provisions to assist in addressing climate change\, in particular to enhance mitigation and adaptation measures. \n  URL:https://www.nela.org.au/nelaevent/climate-change-and-environmental-legislation-perth/ LOCATION:Murdoch University\, 90 South Street\, Murdoch\, WA\, 6150\, Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nela.org.au/wp-content/uploads/Lights-Beach-Western-Australia.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20200717T080000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20200717T170000 DTSTAMP:20260424T120723 CREATED:20200714T090559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200714T090640Z UID:10000083-1594972800-1595005200@www.nela.org.au SUMMARY:Test Event 2 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.nela.org.au/nelaevent/test-event-2/ CATEGORIES:Digital ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nela.org.au/wp-content/uploads/NELA-Leaf.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
