HopgoodGanim Lawyers is pleased to be collaborating with and the UQ Justice and the Law Society, to host an in-depth online panel exploring the urgent and evolving intersection between First Nations rights, climate justice, and the law.
Date: Tuesday 17 March
Time: 6:00 – 7:00pm AEST
As climate change intensifies across Australia, First Nations communities are experiencing disproportionate impacts. This panel discussion will unpack the legal, cultural, and human rights dimensions of climate justice, and examine how the law can both empower and impede First Nations peoples seeking legal protection, recognition, and self-determination in a rapidly changing environment. Hosted online, this 60min session brings together leading thinkers and practitioners whose work sits at the frontline of climate impacts, human rights, and Indigenous sovereignty.
We’re looking forward to hearing from an exceptional panel of speakers, including Cassie Lang, Founder and Principal Solicitor of Parallax Legal, Francis Nona, Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Medical Education, and Tony McAvoy SC, Senior Counsel at Frederick Jordan Chambers, who will each bring valuable legal, cultural and community perspectives to this important conversation.
