Thought Australia's environment law reform wrapped up last year? Think again.
The Albanese government has now finalised key National Environmental Standards – rules that will shape how Australia's new environment laws work in practice.
Do they set a strong enough bar for protecting nature? And what happens next?
Join legal experts from Environmental Justice Australia and Environmental Defenders Office to unpack what the new Standards mean, where the weaknesses lie and the important decisions still to come.
We'll also share the next opportunities to have your say on how Australia's new nature laws are implemented.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The detail matters. These new standards will play a key role in determining whether Australia’s reformed laws deliver meaningful protection for nature.
In this free online webinar and Q&A, we'll explore
- What are National Environmental Standards – and why do they matter?
- How do the four new standards stack up? Their strengths, gaps and weaknesses?
- How will the standards work in practice?
- What's happening with the new National EPA?
- What comes next for bilateral agreements, RFAs and other key regulations?
- Your questions, answered during a live audience Q&A.
