On the 23rd of July 2015, Marjan Minnesma, co-founder and director of Urgenda Foundation, spoke to a full Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre about her organisation's recent victory over the Dutch Government in The Hague District Court.

The action was the first time in the world where a national government's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets were found to be incompatible with the duty of the state to protect its citizens and has sparked something of a viral phenomenon world wide as other NGOs seek to use Urgenda's success as a template for action in their own country.

MCed by Jon Faine of ABC 774 Melbourne, Marjan was also joined by Felicity Millner of Environmental Justice Australia and Brad Jessup of the Centre for Resources, Energy and Environmental Law at Melbourne Law School.

The event was co-hosted by EJA and CREEL.
