Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) | Annual Report Page 2 of 36 Director’s Report

2018 was another busy but productive year for the Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL). Academic staff continued to build upon their strong trajectory in teaching and research, expanding the international reach of the CREEL teaching program, as well as attracting significant research funding. CREEL’s research has continued its international profile in areas such as resources law and environmental law but also moved in new directions with work on food regulation (Christine Parker), taxation and social policy (Miranda Stewart) and jurisprudential analysis linked to environmental themes and Indigenous peoples’ law (Shaun McVeigh, Olivia Barr and Kathleen Birrell) as well as Indigenous law and human rights (Kirsty Gover). There is also a long-standing engagement with postcolonial scholarship; and I am pleased to note the ongoing collaboration with the Institute for International Law and Humanities with Sundhya Pahuja’s engagement across both centres. It is also wonderful to celebrate the fact that many of the CREEL academic staff are former PhD students or previously held a research position with CREEL.

While there were many staff publications and achievements, I would just like to mention, CREEL’s strong profile in water law with a growing body of research work by Rebecca Nelson and Erin O’Donnell. CREEL would also like to congratulate Margaret Young and Hilary Charlesworth on their Australian Research Council Discovery project - The potential and limits of international adjudication and to Shaun McVeigh as part of a successful team Discovery project, led by RMIT on Indigenous leaders: lawful relations, from encounter to treaty. I also note the ongoing work under existing ARC projects for Jackie Peel and Christine Parker. Kirsty Gover has a collaborative project with the Swedish Research Council. Jackie Peel and Hari Osofsky were the recipients of the prestigious Morrison prize for the article, Energy Partisanship. Staff also contributed to many conferences, workshops and seminars in 2018. CREEL continued its strong links with researchers in the energy, resources and environmental fields. CREEL staff and students are involved in Energy Transition Hub and a range of other University wide-research initiatives. I would like to thank CREEL Co-directors Jackie Peel and Michael Crommelin and the support that was provided to CREEL from many professional staff, and in particular the Office for Research and the centre administrator Cindy Halliwell.

Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) | Annual Report Page 3 of 36 About CREEL

The Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) is a long-standing research centre at the Melbourne Law School; established in 1986. Until 1996 it was known as the Centre for Natural Resources Law, and the teaching program was focused on laws relating to mining, petroleum and water resources; the legal structure and financing of major resources projects; and some aspects of environmental regulation. In 1996 substantial changes were made to extend the program. In 2008, the LLM teaching program was re-structured, and the Master of Environmental Law and the Master of Energy and Resources Law courses were developed. The CREEL teaching program has continued to add new subjects to these courses over the last decade. Many of the subjects are highly relevant to international students as well as Australian students. The increased scope of the graduate teaching program is reflected in CREEL’s research, publishing, seminars and related activities.

Purposes and Objectives

CREEL aims to promote research, teaching and publication on the legal, regulatory and policy frameworks that engage with: • the production and distribution of energy, including consideration of climate change law and regulation; • the sustainable development of natural resources; • the protection of the environment and the promotion of ecologically sustainable development; • the provision of infrastructure in urban areas and infrastructure associated with energy and resource development; • the recognition and protection of Indigenous peoples’ rights and interests in land and resources.

CREEL staff seek to engage in these activities with respect to contemporary developments and issues in , Asia/Pacific and other selected regions; to extend the Law School’s specialised collection of research and teaching materials relating to energy, natural resources, environmental law and native title and to strengthen existing links and establish new links with other centres in Australia and overseas engaged in equivalent activities. CREEL seeks to encourage professionals from industry, investment institutions, government and universities in Australia and overseas to participate in the Centre’s activities.

Transition to a clean energy future: the role of climate litigation Background Climate change is an urgent environmental problem requiring a rapid transition to sources of clean energy. Yet governments - both nationally and internationally - have moved only slowly and timidly to put in place the necessary long-term regulatory steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this setting environmental advocates have looked increasingly to courts, mounting ambitious climate litigation in an effort to block fossil fuel use and force consideration of climate change impacts in planning decisions. This innovative project analysed the capacity of climate litigation in key fossil-fuel producing countries, Australia and the US, to influence regulation so contributing to putting these nations on the path to a clean energy future. This project was funded by the Australian Research Council Discovery Project (DP 130100500) between 2013-2018.

Corporate Energy Transition Background Funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project grant (DP160100255) for 2016-2019, this project explores how corporate and securities law mechanisms can be used to incentivise private sector transition to clean energy sources and business practices. There is considerable scope for the private sector to contribute to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning energy systems to low-carbon, clean energy sources so as to avoid catastrophic climate change impacts on Australian businesses, communities and the environment. There is also increasing recognition by Australian companies across all sectors of the importance of managing risks associated with climate change. This project evaluates how existing corporate law tools (such as reporting and disclosure requirements, shareholder actions and director’s duties) can and are being used to motivate companies to adopt clean energy practices; and whether there are options for law and governance reforms to promote greater uptake.

Strategic Litigation on Climate Change in Europe Background Strategic litigation and shareholder/investor activism to advance outcomes on climate change policy are growing globally. Over the last decade, many court cases have been brought in countries such as the United States and Australia to try to stop greenhouse gas emissions from coal; to improve air quality; and to reduce the carbon footprint of corporations. There have also been efforts to spur corporate action in these jurisdictions through shareholder activism, improved company disclosure practices and a growing divestment movement. However, in contrast, strategic climate litigation and activism in Europe has been narrower in focus and less prevalent. This project, now in Phase 2, evaluates the impacts of a targeted program of climate litigation and associated shareholder/investor activism, which has been funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and is being implemented by the public interest environmental law NGO ClientEarth, based in the United Kingdom, with offices across Europe and in Beijing, China. The ClientEarth program aims to accelerate the transition to low-carbon by reducing emissions from coal, improving air quality, reducing emissions from the corporate sector, holding companies and governments accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions and improving environmental governance in China. Using social science evaluation methodologies, the research team is generating an evidence base for evaluating the impact of this litigation and associated shareholder/investor activism.

PhD Completion Seminar by Laura Schuijers February 2018 'The Capacity of the Legal System to manage Environmental Impact Assesment (EIA): a Study on Natural Gas Fracking’ Supervisors Professor Jacqueline Peel and Associate Professor Margaret Young. Thesis Abstract A desire to attain energy security has motivated the expansion of natural gas fracking in recent years. Natural gas, large reserves of which can be tapped through fracking, tends to be viewed as a ‘bridging fuel’, linking the carbon-intensive past with a more sustainable (and Paris-compliant) future. Fracking exposes a complex relationship between energy and water – one that affects a broad and diverse range of stakeholders, and which ultimately raises the question as to whether energy security can be achieved in the near-term future without jeopardising clean water and aquatic ecosystems. This thesis examines how the can manage the risks of fracking through environmental impact assessment (‘EIA’). Taking an interdisciplinary and systems-based approach, it identifies key gaps in federal Australian law, and the implications of those gaps for protecting the environment from adverse impacts.

Book Launch February 20th 2018 'The Impact of Climate Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities: International, National and Local Law Perspectives on REDD+’ CREEL launched a new book by Professor Lee Godden, Professor Kirsty Gover, Associate Professor Maureen Tehan and Associate Professor Margaret Young: 'The Impact of Climate Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities: International, National and Local Law Perspectives on REDD+' . The book analyses the international legal framework for valuing the carbon stored in forests, known as 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation' (REDD+), which is established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement. The authors demonstrate how REDD+ impacts the indigenous and local communities who inhabit, use or claim rights to forested lands. It seeks to provide a systemic account of the relevant laws governing forest carbon sequestration and their interaction. Professor Philippe Sands QC, visiting Melbourne from UCL and Matrix Chambers launched the book at a small reception before his public lecture at the Melbourne Law School.

The Regulation of Emissions from International Maritime Transport: Ways Forward May 1st 2018 Dr Beatriz Martinez Romera

The regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from international maritime transport is a flagrant gap in climate change governance, where the sector has remained largely unregulated to date. In 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change called for all sectors of the global economy, including maritime transport, to contribute to the stabilization of greenhouse gas emissions. However, international maritime transport was explicitly excluded from the Kyoto Protocol’s scope in 1997, and the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015 without a reference to international maritime transport. The negotiations on the regulation of these sectors’ emissions under the International Maritime Organization have not faced a better fate. The seminar addressed key issues in the regulation of international maritime transport emissions, giving an account of the current processes and potential regulatory pathways, in the era of the Paris Agreement.

Dr Romera is the author of Regime Interaction and Climate Change: the Case of International Aviation and Maritime Transport (Routledge 2017). Her research focuses on the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation and maritime transport. She has a keen interest in the international law-making, climate negotiations, and the regulatory processes at the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization, as well as the developments at the EU level.

Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) | Annual Report Page 17 of 36 The Future of the Paris Agreement June 21st 2018 Professor Dan Bodansky The 2015 Paris Agreement was hailed as the “world’s greatest diplomatic success” and a “big, big deal.” But it is still very much a work in progress. Whether it ultimately proves successful remains uncertain. The emission reduction pledges made in Paris fall well short of putting the world on a pathway to keeping global warming to well below 2°C, the ostensible goal of the Paris Agreement, and whether parties will come forward with more ambitious pledges in 2020, for the next pledging cycle, is an open question. President Trump has threatened to pull the United States out of the agreement. And the rules for how the Paris Agreement will work are still being negotiated. The upcoming conference this December in Katowice, Poland, will be crucial for keeping the Paris Agreement on track. In his talk, Professor Bodansky analyzed the issues in the current Paris rulebook negotiations, previewed the Katowice Conference, and assessed the prospects for the Paris Agreement going forward. Professor Dan Bodansky is Regents’ Professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. His co-authored book, International Climate Change Law (with Jutta Brunnee and Lavanya Rajamani), recently received the American Society of International Law’s Certificate of Merit as the best book published in the last year in a specialized area of international law.

Comparative Legal Diagnostics for the Low-Carbon Transition July 17th 2018 Professor Giuseppe Bellantuono The low-carbon transition is happening. But it is too slow and too uneven. We know why: the transition is a multi-scale and multi-dimensional process. But do we know how the law copes with such processes? We are usually told that legal change is incremental, rarely, if ever, revolutionary. If this is true, law could fail to support the low-carbon transition, or even act as a brake. Several scholars are trying to develop methods for the ‘legal organization’ of the transition, or to identify ‘legal pathways’ to a low-carbon economy. Professor Giuseppe Bellantuono joins this debate with a proposal for an institutional diagnostics approach which merges two perspectives: a comparative one and an interdisciplinary one. The former takes into account the multi-scale aspect of the transition, the latter the multi-dimensional aspect. Comparative legal diagnostics won’t provide policymakers with easy solutions. But it could provide a knowledge platform to address two of the thorniest issues of the transition: how to make long-term climate commitments legally credible and how to identify the legal interdependencies which hamper the transition. Giuseppe Bellantuono is professor of comparative law at the University of Trento, Italy. He holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Private Law from the University of Trento (1996). Between 2014 and 2015 he served as seconded national expert at the European Commission, DG Energy, Energy Policy Unit. He is regularly invited to teach Comparative Law, EU Law and Energy Law in several European and non- European universities. His research interests are in the fields of energy and climate law, comparative and interdisciplinary methodologies, international contracts, law

Water Law and Natural Resource Management Field Trip with Alluvium September 2018 In 2018, as part of the Melbourne Law Masters subject Water Law and Natural Resource Management, Professor Lee Godden and Dr Erin O’Donnell completed the inaugural field trip to help Masters students connect their understanding of water law frameworks with the ways in which these laws are used by non-legal practitioners to guide their water management activities. The field trip included a guided tour of the Merri Edgars stormwater treatment wetland by one of the lead engineers from the design and construct team (Alluvium). This wetland was specifically constructed to capture and treat stormwater before release into Merri Creek, an urban stream in northern Melbourne. In doing so, the design, construction and management of the wetland brought together themes of integrated water management, water pollution, land use planning, floodplain and drainage management, as well as environmental impact assessment and approvals. This was the first field trip that Melbourne Law School has undertaken as part of a Masters level environmental law subject, and drew on CREEL’s existing relationships with the broader water industry. CREEL gratefully acknowledges work of Stuart Cleven (Alluvium), who generously contributed his time and expertise. Students found the field trip to be a highly valuable way of connecting the legal content with on-ground outcomes, and this event has now become an ongoing element of the Water Law and Natural Resource Management curriculum.

The Regulation of Mining Waste in Nineteenth Century Victoria October 24th 2018 Professor Susan Lawrence Mining waste was a significant environmental problem in nineteenth- century Victoria. Sludge from mining flowed into rivers across the colony causing significant damage and disruption to downstream communities. The struggle to regulate sludge lasted fifty years from the European discovery of gold in 1851 to the eventual inclusion of anti-sludge provisions in the Mines Act (1904). Analysis of community action and legislative response over the decades reveals shortcomings in customary riparian rights in the unique social and legal context that resulted from the gold rush. It also reveals the gradual emergence of an environmental conscience that ultimately compelled industry to take responsibility for its waste.

Emerging Frontiers in International Environmental Law November 22nd 2018 Speakers: Sam Johnston, Ms Alice Palmer, Professor Jacqueline Peel, Professor Matthew Rimmer & Associate Professor Margaret Young International environmental law is a relatively new and dynamic field of international law. It draws on multidisciplinary inputs (science, politics, international relations, economics etc) in designing multilateral and innovative legal tools for dealing with a diverse array of complex environmental problems (climate change, marine pollution, biodiversity loss, hazardous waste disposal etc). In the last decade, international environmental law has acquired considerable breadth, depth, nuance, complexity, and reach. It is now more deeply interconnected with policy and legal efforts in many other fields, including international trade and investment, human rights and migration, energy, technology innovation and intellectual property protection.

This seminar brings together expert contributors to the planned 2nd edition of the Oxford Handbook on International Environmental Law (edited by Lavanya Rajamani and Jacqueline Peel) to discuss developments and innovations in their respective areas of expertise to be covered in the book. In particular, the seminar will feature presentations on: the interface of science with international environmental law; the impact of intellectual property law on international environmental law; efforts to deal with fragmentation, including the draft Global Pact for the Environment; and key challenges in national implementation of international environmental laws. This seminar will offer an excellent opportunity to hear from leading experts in these areas and feedback from participants will be used by authors in refining their chapters for the Handbook.

Water in a Concrete Jungle: Laws to (Un)Pave the way to Healthy Urban Streams December 5th 2018 Dr Rebecca Nelson The condition of many urban waterways in Australia is poor and declining. That decline often proceeds from an already low base of ecological health. A key large-scale driver for the decline is excess urban stormwater runoff caused by the cumulative effects of urban developments. This paper uses a novel combination of (1) insights from scientific studies of cumulative environmental effects to guide (2) traditional legal analysis of over 20 types of legal mechanisms across 4 areas of law to explore their potential to

Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) | Annual Report Page 20 of 36 address this problem, (3) qualitative empirical legal analysis of publicly available instances of these mechanisms to understand how they are commonly drafted, and (4) quantitative spatial analysis to understand key gaps in the applications of these mechanisms to Melbourne. This analysis reveals that there are more legal mechanisms that might be used to address the cumulative adverse ecological impacts of stormwater flows than have previously been discussed, and some encouraging instances of their robust use. However, many groups of legal mechanisms often have only weak connections to statutory ecological goals for urban streams and often lack associated quantitative standards. Current reform processes, notably the drafting of the Yarra Strategic Plan under the Yarra River Protection (Wilip-gin Birrarung murron) Act 2017 (Vic), present opportunities to improve and coordinate legal and policy approaches to protecting and restoring urban waterways in the context of the stormwater impacts of intensifying development. The paper concluded with recommendations for piloting improved stormwater management arrangements using the Yarra Strategic Plan as a foundation.

Dr Rebecca Nelson is a Senior Lecturer of the Melbourne Law School. Her research focuses on environmental and natural resources law and policy, with an emphasis on empirical research and practical solutions. Dr Nelson holds an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (2018-2020), which aims to analyse and evaluate laws regulating cumulative environmental effects in the United States of America, European Union, Canada and Australia.

ARC Discovery Projects

Margaret Young and Hilary Charlesworth 2018 – The potential and limits of international adjudication $424,608

Project Summary This project aims to analyse the place of adjudication in international affairs, using a case study of Australia’s extensive engagement with the International Court of Justice. The project sets out to provide the first detailed account of the context and impact of the cases in which Australia has been involved before the Court as well as to assess the complex roles that adjudication and advisory opinions can play in the resolution of international disputes more generally. This timely project will not only document an historic set of engagements spanning 70 years, but also provide guidance on when international adjudication may be productive for Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and the international legal order.

Jacqueline Peel, Hari Osofsky and Brett McDonnell 2016 – 2019 Devising a Legal Blueprint for Corporate Energy Transition $293,052

Project Summary This project aims to provide a legal blueprint for using corporate law mechanisms to incentivise improved climate risk management and clean energy practices in Australian companies. Corporations are key players in efforts to transition the global energy system to clean energy sources and to mitigate climate risk. While this role is widely acknowledged, thinking on the best legal strategies that could foster corporate energy transition is in its infancy. Drawing on empirical data and more extensive United States experience with the use of corporate law tools for climate ends, the project plans to uncover roadblocks to corporate energy transformation and identify law and governance reforms necessary for putting the private sector on a low- carbon pathway.

Christine Parker and Dr Gyorgy Scrinis 2015-2019 Regulating Food Labels: The Case of Free Range Food Products in Australia $383,900

Project Summary The food label has become an important site of contestation and controversy with respect to a range of health, safety, environmental and ethical issues across the food system. This project will examine the regulation of food labeling in Australia through a focus on free range labelled eggs and animal products. It will shed light on the dynamics of how a network of food producers, retailers, private certification organisations, and regulatory agencies are responding to changing demands for ethical and quality foods. The project will develop new strategies for a more effective, legitimate and stakeholder-inclusive approach to regulating food labels.

Jacqueline Peel and Hari Osofsky 2013 – 2018 Transition to a Clean Energy Future: The Role of Climate Change Litigation in Shaping our Regulatory Path $250,000

Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (CREEL) | Annual Report Page 30 of 36 Project Summary As the world seeks a clean energy future, courts in Australia and other key fossil fuel-producing nations, like the United States, are increasingly hearing cases seeking to block the use of coal due to its climate change effects. This project critically assesses the role such climate litigation plays in generating regulatory momentum to address climate change.

Discovery Early Career Researcher Awards Rebecca Nelson 2018 – 2021 Regulating cumulative environmental effects: designing global best practice $363,996

Project Summary Scientists know that the environmental effects of separate projects can accumulate to pose significant risks. Yet law often allows unintended environmental harms by ignoring cumulative effects, or using weak controls that fail to prevent harm in practice. This innovative research aims to analyse and evaluate the theoretical bases, adoption and use of laws regulating cumulative environmental effects in the US, EU, Canada and Australia. Using novel methods combining law, ethics, and natural and spatial science, this project seeks to build an framework of globally relevant best practice tools for regulating cumulative effects. This promises to increase the capacity of regulators, industry, and the community to better manage environmental harms.

ARC Discovery Indigenous Mark McMillan, Joanna Cruickshank, Ann Genovese, Shaun McVeigh and Julie Evans (administered by RMIT) 2018 - ongoing Indigenous leaders: lawful relations from encounter to treaty $430,661

Project Summary This multi-disciplinary project draws together history, law and the creative arts to recover, make visible and make accessible the continuous traditions of Indigenous people’s leadership in conducting lawful relations in Victoria. The project aims to develop innovative and creative methods of translating these encounters and their attendant insights, in order to inform the practical activities of conducting lawful relations in the present and the future. The intended outcomes should shape critical deliberations on the future of non-Indigenous Australia’s legal and social relationships with its First Peoples, particularly regarding treaty-making.

Swedish Research Council Professor Kirsty Gover, Associate Professor Ulf Morkenstam, Professor Ludvig beckham, Associate Professor Sofia Nasstrom 2016 - 2018 Who are ‘We, the People’? A study of national and indigenous peoples’ constitutions $1, 295, 256

Project Summary A central idea in modern democracies is that the coercive powers of the state are legitimate only if they derive from the people. The significance of this idea can be found in the numerous constitutional documents where popular sovereignty is highlighted as a key principle, or where ‘we the people’ is declared the ultimate source of the constitutional order. But in recent decades, ‘the people’ itself has become controversial. A variety of groups compete today for the title of the sovereign people. This project studies the problem of the

Morrison Prize Jacqueline Peel and Hari Osofsky, Energy Partisanship Professor Jacqueline Peel and Professor Hari Osofsky has been awarded the 2018 Morrison Prize for their academic article, Energy Partisanship. The article which was submitted in the Emory Law Journal, details how vitriol in American politics has impeded progress on climate policy. The Morrison Prize, established in 2015, is administered through the program on Law and Sustainability at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. The annual contest awards a $10,000 prize to the author of the most impactful sustainability-related legal academic article published in North America during the previous year. All entries undergo independent review and scoring by a diverse group of full-time law professors who teach in environmental sustainability-related areas at various North American law schools. The scores from these judges are aggregated to determine the prize winner.
