Globally, claimants are increasingly relying on constitutional and human rights laws in the attempts to hold governments and corporations accountable for addressing climate change.
In this rapidly expanding area of the law, Damian Clothier QC, James Strachan QC (39 Essex Chambers), Bianca Kabel and Joshua Sproule constituted a panel providing a practical overview of the Queensland’s Human Rights Act and its likely effect on climate litigation and the approvals process in Australia with reference to relevant cases and emerging trends and developments from other jurisdictions. A recording of the webinar and the PowerPoint are available here.
