NSW fire survivors take EPA to court in push to force action on climate change

Bushfire survivors have launched legal action to try and force the New South Wales Environmental Protection Authority to develop a climate change policy.

The case in the NSW Land and Environment Court has been brought by the Environmental Defenders Office on behalf of the advocacy group, Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action.

David Morris, chief executive of the Environmental Defenders Office, said his clients were calling on the EPA to better protect communities for the future.
