Drawing from international principles and his Duty of Care Bill, Senator Pocock will discuss the specific concept of intergenerational equity in climate action and its potential to drive more ambitious and effective climate policies for the benefit of all.
Presented by Senator David Pocock, Independent Senator for the Australian Capital Territory
