In 2019, Queensland joined Victoria and the ACT by enacting the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld), which includes a right to life.

In this seminar, Dr Justine Bell-James will explore whether the right to life can be used as a vehicle for environmental claims. Most importantly, the right to life may have implications for executive policy, legislative reform, and litigation regarding climate change.

The seminar will take place via Zoom. We will post a link to the Zoom meeting a week before the seminar. Dr Bell-James's presentation will be followed by a Q & A.

This seminar is a great chance for students with an interest in human rights and environmental law to explore a cutting-edge topic: one that may have widespread implications in the coming years.
