Abstract
International legal concepts such as ‘sustainable development’ have a significant impact on the development of policies and legislation that affect global, regional, national and local levels of environmental law. This article investigates the concept of sustainable development in light of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012. The aim of this investigation is to examine the impact of the concept of sustainable development and how the latest developments could influence university curriculums and the global outlook of legal education in Australia.
