Using Conservation Covenants for Ecosystem Restoration & Climate Adaptation

本项目旨在探讨保育契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，该项目审查了澳大利亚在养护公约方面的法律的经验，并对新南威尔士州、昆士兰州、塔斯马尼亚州和维多利亚州进行了个案研究。该项目预计将产生新的理论见解和实践知识，使公约在实现生物多样性保护和恢复目标方面发挥更雄心勃勃的作用的障碍和机会。这将为澳大利亚履行其国际环境义务，改善政府与社区和土地所有者利益攸关方之间的合作带来重大利益。

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.
