A legal framework for resilient electricity infrastructure in Australia. This project aims to develop a legal and governance framework to enhance the resilience of Australia's electricity infrastructure in a changing climate. Building resilience reduces the total cost of disasters in Australia, a major share of which will come from replacing damaged critical infrastructure, without accounting for climate change impacts.

This project aims to develop a legal and governance framework to enhance the resilience of Australia's electricity infrastructure in a changing climate. Building resilience reduces the total cost of disasters in Australia, a major share of which will come from replacing damaged critical infrastructure, without accounting for climate change impacts. This project aims to develop the legal and governance framework by addressing both the integration of smart technologies and disaster risk reduction measures in the electricity system. This is expected to provide significant economic, social and environmental benefits to Australia.Read moreRead less

Summary
Effective systems for managing intractable natural resource use conflict. This project aims to understand the role of the law as an actor in disputes over the exploration and exploitation of natural resources. It will examine how patterns of conflict over natural resources develop, advancing knowledge of dispute resolution approaches that account for the influence of legal structures and dynamics upon conflict.
The next generation rural landscape governance: the Australian dimension. The project team in collaboration with Industry and regional stakeholders will undertake innovative research to develop the next generation of natural resource governance in Australia. This project will focus on the reforms required to improve the sustainability performance of primary industries through reduced transaction costs, co-regulatory structures and stewardship.
Improving the global governance of sharks: obstacles, options and opportunities. Improving the global governance of sharks is critical in light of their poor conservation status and importance for marine ecosystems. This project will make an important contribution to their conservation and sustainable use by identifying obstacles and opportunities for working better with existing laws and making recommendations for reform.

Summary
Evacuations in International Law: Disasters, Conflict & Humanitarian Crises. As contemporary crises intersect and compound, increasing numbers of people are seeking to escape the impacts of disasters, climate change, conflict and other emergencies. In such contexts, evacuations can be a life-saving tool to move people away from imminent harm. But they can also displace people, often for prolonged periods, and at great social, economic and personal cost. This timely and innovative program will tr ....Evacuations in International Law: Disasters, Conflict & Humanitarian Crises. As contemporary crises intersect and compound, increasing numbers of people are seeking to escape the impacts of disasters, climate change, conflict and other emergencies. In such contexts, evacuations can be a life-saving tool to move people away from imminent harm. But they can also displace people, often for prolonged periods, and at great social, economic and personal cost. This timely and innovative program will transform how we conceive of, implement and evaluate evacuations as a form of rescue in international law and practice. This new field of scholarly inquiry will generate transformative legal and policy reform to safeguard the rights of evacuees, thereby enhancing the protection of millions of people worldwide.Read moreRead less
