The climate courtroom is now in session. In this episode we breakdown why the law matters when it comes to climate change. 

Lawyer at the Environmental Justice Australia Britt Dienhoff and paralegal Varsha Yajman give us the scoop on how the law is used as an effective climate tool.

Plus, we take a look into the history of climate law in Australia to find clues from the past to help us pave the way for the future.

 

Just a quick note that this podcast was put together in 2021, so some of the stats have changed. However, obviously things haven’t gotten much better, and many of the stories you’re about to hear can be a way forward for change.
