Attend the launch of State of denial, a groundbreaking report that examines Australia’s legal obligations for human rights harms caused within Australia by its fossil fuel exports.

As one of the world’s largest fossil fuel exporters, Australia’s role in the climate crisis is under sharper scrutiny than ever. What are Australia's legal responsibilities in this critical decade for climate action? How are exported emissions driving human rights harms here at home? And following the landmark International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on Climate Change, what does this mean for Australia’s future, and the global push to phase out fossil fuels?

At this exclusive launch, leading experts will unpack these urgent questions and provide fresh legal insights on the intersection of climate change, human rights, and fossil fuel exports.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping Australia’s climate and human rights obligations.
