The law and climate: an address from Justice Brian Preston, Chief Judge of the Land and Environment Court of NSW

Litigation on climate is growing, with the cumulative number of climate litigation cases worldwide more than doubling over the past five years.

The current wave of climate litigation is characterised by diverse types of legal claims and an increasing volume of cases brought in different jurisdictions.

Recent instances of climate litigation in Australia echo global trends and fall within three categories: litigation aimed at domestic accountability for climate action; litigation directed toward the private sector; and human rights litigation.

In this event, the Honourable Justice Brian Preston, Chief Judge of the Land and Environment Court of NSW, will deliver a lecture on the subject, introduced by Bob Carr, Professor of Business and Climate, UTS.

Please join on September 30 at 6pm as we hear from Justice Preston on the law and climate as part of this UTS4climate webinar series.
