2013 Australian Wild Law Alliance
“Living within our ecological limits: law and governance to nurture the Earth Community”
27-29 September 2013, Ian Hangar Recital Hall,
Southbank, Brisbane – Australia

- How do we know our ecological limits? And how do we know our place in Mother Earth? What can we learn from science, ethics, indigenous knowledge and spiritual connections to country?
- What legal and governance mechanisms can help us live within our limits? What concepts and tools exist in economics, planning, law and other disciplines, that can help guide our efforts to live within our ecological limits?
- How do we change our current economic, political and legal systems to create human societies that live in a harmonious relationship with the Earth community? For example, what role can ‘rights of nature’ legislation play in shifting human societies towards an earth-centred world view and governance culture? What is the role of civil society in changing traditional power structures?
