The Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA) is pleased to invite you to join our Biennial  Earth Ethics Conference from Friday 26 to Saturday 27 November 2021. 

CONFERENCE FORMAT

Our 2021 event is a hybrid conference, with two participation options:

1. ONLINE ONLY - you can participate entirely online via zoom, OR
2. HYBRID - you can participate in our HYBRID format: online Friday 26th November, and in person in Brisbane on Saturday 27th November, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, Australia. Our in-person event on Saturday 27th November is fully catered (ticket prices are higher than the online only option to cover catering costs)

CONFERENCE THEMES

Join us for a thought provoking two-day conference that will bring people together from a range of fields - including earth ethics, environmental education, Indigenous knowledge systems, environmental psychology, deep ecology, arts, law, science, business, religion and eco-spirituality - to address our central questions:

• How can we build Earth-centred ethics in Australian society?
• What barriers prevent people from developing and maintaining an
  Earth-centred ethic? How do we address these barriers?
• Have the disruptive effects of COVID19 created a stronger or weaker
  Earth-centred ethic in Australian society? What can we learn from the
  pandemic, and what can we do to enhance care for the Earth in uncertain
  times?

Why are Earth-centred ethics important? The way we think about ourselves and understand our world informs the governance systems that guide our societies, so our ethical world view is a critical part of the roots for larger systemic change. Earth Ethics orient people towards recognising the interconnected systems of life that we are part of, and in turn help us reflect, make decisions and act in a way that nurtures rather than destroys the living world.

The Conference aims to help people learn and share information about how Earth-centred ethics can be nurtured and built in a changing world. The COVID-19 Pandemic, climate change, and the global ecological crisis are forcing human societies to face ever increasing environmental, psychological and spiritual challenges. We need highly engaged communities if we are to address these challenges and begin to realise new and exciting alternatives to create a sustainable future in a climate changed world.

Don’t miss this important discussion about environmental education, eco-spirituality, Earth ethics and the role of the human spirit in building a brighter future.
