Litigating climate change displacement: Cutting-edge cases and decisions

UNSW Kaldor Centre

A Kaldor Centre Conference 2021: 'Whose move? Addressing migration and displacement in the face of climate change', panel session held on 20 October 2021 AEDT. People fleeing disasters and the impacts of climate change often enter an unmapped legal landscape. Faced with legal gaps or overlaps, courts today are considering how laws may be shaped to unprecedented circumstances. Different jurisdictions are deciding differently – and some outcomes are forcing leaders to propose more creative new solutions. Hear from Robin Bronen, Alaska Institute for Justice; Ama Francis, International Refugee Assistance Project; Adam McBeth, Victorian Bar; Solomon Yeo, Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change; chaired by llona Millar, Baker McKenzie.
