UTLR Special Issue on Climate Justice

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Climate Justice Special Issue of the University of Tasmania Law Review. This special issue entitled 'Imagining a Different Future: Overcoming Barriers to Climate Justice’ grew out of our climate justice conference in 2018. The Special Issue is available in print and has also been made available free online to ensure wide dissemination because of the urgency of climate change and the importance of justice considerations.
