Climate change, clean water and a pollution-free environment are all fundamental human rights issues.

The Federal Government is currently conducting a national human rights consultation into what rights should be better protected in Australia.

Many countries protect environmental rights through human rights legislation - and Australia should too.



This seminar will cover:

• How human rights are relevant to the environment and climate change
• How to make a submission to the national human rights consultation
• How to encourage and facilitate others to make submissions as well
