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.

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.

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:20260424T160302 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/ LOCATION:WA CATEGORIES:Digital ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nela.org.au/wp-content/uploads/NELA-Leaf.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20200715T120000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20200715T143000 DTSTAMP:20260424T160302 CREATED:20200714T085813Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200714T090159Z UID:10000082-1594814400-1594823400@www.nela.org.au SUMMARY:New Event DESCRIPTION:Test URL:https://www.nela.org.au/nelaevent/new-event/ LOCATION:The University of Western Australia\, 35 Stirling Hwy\, Crawley\, WA\, 6009\, Australia CATEGORIES:In Person END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
