Climate change is presenting numerous challenges to many aspects of Canadian life, including access to justice. Our panelists will discuss what administrative bodies need to understand about how environmental impacts may impact access to justice and how to remedy this challenge. Points of discussion include:

• Understanding how climate change is affecting access to justice
• Assessing whether current laws are adequately protecting workers and residents in a changing climate
• Analyzing how to work around climate disasters that prolong or inhibit access to hearings
• How to respond when a climate disaster occurs?
• Exploring whether new avenues and best practices exist that can provide access to justice, while eliminating barriers caused as a result of climate disasters
