Overview

With the conference theme “Delivering a low carbon future”, the 2013 NELA National Conference will focus on legal aspects of Australia’s pathway to a low carbon economy in the 21st century.

The conference will examine state, national and global developments in environment and climate change litigation and review emerging regulations and programs with a focus on facilitating clean energy.

As part of the discussion we pose the question: What is the proper role of the states and territories in planning a low carbon future given the Commonwealth’s constitutional role in international environmental law, the energy sector, and regulating greenhouse gas emissions?
