Climate Change Mitigation And The U.N. Security Council: A Just War Analysis, Harry Van Der Linden
Climate Change Mitigation And The U.N. Security Council: A Just War Analysis, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Should the U.N. Security Council (unsc) use its coercive powers to bring about effective climate change mitigation? This question remains relevant considering the inadequate mitigation goals set by the signatories of the Paris Climate Accord and the ramifications of U.S. withdrawal from the Accord. This paper argues that the option of the unsc coercing climate change mitigation through military action, or the threat thereof, is morally flawed and ultimately antithetical to effectively addressing climate change. This assessment is based significantly on the application of jus ad bellum principles of just war theory, incorporating some feminist critiques of this theory.

Explaining, Assessing, And Changing High Consumption, Harry Van Der Linden
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
These writings reflect the renewed interest in the 1990s of scholars and the public in questioning the consumer society, an interest that the political crises engendered by 9/11 have overshadowed but not eliminated. In The Overspent American, Schor explains the emergence of strong doubts about high consumption by arguing that a “new consumerism” of escalating desires has evolved that is increasingly costly to the American high consumers themselves.
