Wildfire Law and Policy Network

There are two key purposes for this fellowship. The first is to design and launch a new website that collects and presents existing knowledge and expertise about law and policy for adaptation-oriented bushfire prevention, preparation, response and recovery in an engaging and easily-accessible format.

The second purpose of this project is to use the new website as a hub for a new Wildfire Law and Policy Network. The Network will help to enhance the effectiveness and climate-adaptiveness of Australia's bushfire mitigation and hazard reduction laws by creating a space to test ideas about legal reform, translate cutting-edge science into legal and policy impact and support the development of early- and mid-career researchers in legal and governance research.
