David Barnden: A New Era of Australian Climate Change Law
Environmental law has existed since around the 1960s, however only recently have litigations pivoted to address the concerns of growing emission levels and a warming climate. In this episode Tessa speaks with David Barnden, the founder and principal lawyer of Equity Generation Lawyers - a law firm that specialises in Australian climate change law.
They discuss the history of environmental regulation in australia, the recent EPBC Act review, how covid is affecting the legal system, the economic impact of climate change inaction on investments and our global reputation, and of course the three high profile and progressive cases he's currently working on.
Before starting up Equity Generation David was also a principal lawyer at Environmental Justice Australia, and an associate at social justice law firm Maurice Blackburn. Beyond this David also has a background in applied sciences and coastal management, plus we heard he was a fellow surfer....so knew he'd be good egg!
