The Usyd Philosophy Society (PhilSoc) in partnership with Sydney Environment Institute present a discussion on the legal and philosophical limits to environmental justice in Australia and transnationally. A panel of researchers who sit at the intersection of law and Indigenous rights will discuss experiences of local communities, especially First Nations, with formal justice systems; access to justice; and the ability of the Courts to prevent or redress environmental wrongs.
