About this event

This event will feature insights from world-leading experts in the field and will provide information on the adaptions of ecosystem services into law and policy around the globe.

Coastal wetlands provide a host of critical services to our ecosystems. Whilst these ecosystem services are well recognised in science and economics, these values are not uniformly reflected in law and policy in Australia.Featuring two of the United States’ leading scholars in this area, this public lecture will provide insights on how ecosystem services are being integrated into law and policy in the context of the American legal system.

Professor James Salzman and Professor J. B. Ruhl will together demonstrate how legislatures, agencies, and courts effectively address these services, but under different names. They will also breakdown what this means for Australia, and what key barriers might be expected for wider adoption of a uniform framework.
