In Conversation: Senator David Pocock and Anjali Sharma - Duty of Care Bill

In August this year, Senator David Pocock introduced a Private Senator's Bill, the Climate Change Amendment (Duty of Care and Intergenerational Climate Equity) Bill 2023, into federal parliament. 

Anjali Sharma was the lead litigant in the groundbreaking case of Sharma v Minister for the Environment which was overturned on appeal by the federal government. Senator Pocock and Anjali have joined forces to campaign for a duty of care to be embedded in statute.

This event is an opportunity to hear directly from Senator Pocock and Anjali about their shared vision for a statutory duty of care to protect Australian children from climate change harm.
