Paris Agreement paradox: if we succeed, we fail

The Paris Agreement goals are a paradox: even if we succeed in achieving them, we fail to protect iconic ecosystems such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

This presentation was given at 5th Frontiers in Environmental Law Colloquium, held at QUT in Brisbane on 14-15 February 2019.

It was based on Chris McGrath, “Paris Agreement goals slipping away and with them Australia’s chance to save the Great Barrier Reef” (2019) 36 (1) Environmental and Planning Law Journal 3 [subscription required].
