Cjeu, Can You Hear Me? Access To Justice In Environmental Matters, Sanja Bogojevic
Sanja Bogojević
Over the years, much ink has been spilled in the debate on standing of NGOs before the EU courts. This issue has been the object of particular consideration following the ruling in the Greenpeace case where the General Court denied the NGO in question standing on the basis that it did not ‘adduce any special circumstances to demonstrate the individual interest of their members’. Considering that environmental NGOs tend to represent the interests of society as a whole, or that of the environment in particular, imposing this kind of conditioning seems unreasonable. Indeed, this judgment, coupled with the more general …

Economic Thought And Climate Disruption: Neoclassical And Economic Dynamic Approaches In The Usa And The Eu, Sanja Bogojevic, David Driesen

In this article we consider the economic ideas that have influenced climate disruption law both in the USA and the EU. Although economic thought has led to the adoption of ‘market-based’ mechanisms in both places, its impact has been different: it created regulatory inertia in the USA, and green leadership in the EU—at least with respect to responding to climate disruption. We argue that different culture-specific economic conceptions about appropriate policy and policy analysis may help explain this divergence, thereby illustrating both various economic ideas and their distinct impact on climate law, as well as the need for environmental lawyers …

Examining the case law concerning the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, this article demonstrates that climate change proceedings in the EU raise questions that stand at the heart of the EU legal order; that is, they demand that the boundaries of the EU’s regulatory competences are drawn. In effect, the EU courts focus on ensuring that EU climate change laws are in accord with the rule of law or, in the context of EU law, …
Emissions Trading Schemes: Markets, States And Law, Sanja Bogojevic
Emissions Trading Schemes: Markets, States And Law, Sanja Bogojevic
Sanja Bogojević
Over the past four decades emissions trading schemes have enjoyed a high profile in environmental law scholarship and environmental law and policy. Much of this regulatory discussion has promoted the use of emissions trading on the basis of its alleged straightforwardness in terms of construction and operation and wide applicability across different jurisdictions and environmental settings. This book challenges the common understanding of emissions trading by offering a more nuanced prism through which to view this regulatory choice. As such, it shows how different regulatory goals are entrusted to emissions trading, each having as its corollary particular governance structures, which, …
