Using Conservation Covenants for Ecosystem Restoration & Climate Adaptation

该项目旨在调查保护公约在促进生态恢复和适应气候变化方面的作用。根据国际经验，该项目通过新南威尔士州、昆士兰州、塔斯马尼亚州和维多利亚州的案例研究，考察了澳大利亚在保护公约方面的法律经验。该项目期望产生关于障碍和机会的新的理论见解和实践知识，使各公约能够在实现生物多样性养护和恢复目标方面发挥更雄心勃勃的作用。这将为澳大利亚在履行其国际环境义务以及改善政府与社区和土地所有者利益攸关方之间的合作方面带来重大好处。

This project aims to investigate the role of conservation covenants in facilitating ecological restoration and adaptation to climate change. In light of international experience, the project examines Australia's legal experience with conservation covenants, with case studies in NSW, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria. The project expects to generate new theoretical insights and practical knowledge about the obstacles and opportunities for enabling covenants to play a more ambitious role in meeting biodiversity conservation and recovery goals. This should generate significant benefits to Australia in meeting its international environmental obligations, and improving collaboration between governments and community and landholder stakeholders.
