The Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law at Sydney Law School invites you to Australia’s inaugural ‘Restoration Law and Finance Conference’ on Thursday and Friday, 7 & 8 December 2023.

The Australian Federal Government has committed to ‘preventing, halting and reversing the loss of nature’ by signing up to The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, publishing the Nature Positive Plan (2022) and introducing the Nature Market Repair Bill (2023). As stated in the recently released Independent Review of the NSW Biodiversity Act 2016, chaired by Ken Henry, it is time to move ‘beyond biodiversity conservation to a “nature positive” framing that emphasises the need to repair past damage and to take urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, putting nature on a path to recovery, so that thriving ecosystems can support future generations’.

Through a series of keynotes, presentations and panel discussions, the conference will bring together a diverse range of speakers, including Indigenous experts, lawyers, investors, restoration practitioners and government officials to discuss the legal and financial barriers to restoring nature across a range of land tenures, and workable solutions to address these issues.

Dominique Hogan-Doran SC will speak on Complementary regulatory mechanisms to stimulate biodiversity restoration
