Climate change considerations in the new federal impact assessment regime

Canadian Institute of Resources Law
Jun 27 2020 - 10:00am to 12:00pm

Canada’s new federal impact assessment legislation came into force in August 2019. It includes explicit requirements to take into account climate change considerations during assessment and decision-making phases. What does this mean? Details are still emerging, primarily in the form of draft guidance set to be finalized in the very near future. This Saturday Morning at the Law School session presents the new legislative context and comments on the details of climate change considerations available to date, including implications for review and approval of major resource projects. The presentation will also relate this material to the broader context of implementing Canada’s international climate change commitments and related domestic law and policy measures.

This event is sponsored by the Alberta Law Foundation.

Edmonton Talk — Habitat Matters

Alberta Wilderness Association
Feb 11 2020 - 7:00pm

Join AWA and Environmental Law Centre’s Executive Director, Jason Unger, for Habitat Matters: Habitat Laws, Challenges and New Directions.

Habitat is essential to the survival of all species. Our activities across the landscape have a significant impact on the habitat of other species. As the human footprint has expanded, we have seen habitat degradation and destruction and its resulting negative impact on species abundance and distribution.

Habitat laws and regulation are a central component to how we start to address this human footprint. Join us to learn more. Read more about Edmonton Talk — Habitat Matters
