Cjeu, Can You Hear Me? Access To Justice In Environmental Matters, Sanja Bogojevic
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 …

Eu Climate Change Litigation, The Role Of The European Courts, And The Importance Of Legal Culture, Sanja Bogojevic
Eu Climate Change Litigation, The Role Of The European Courts, And The Importance Of Legal Culture, Sanja Bogojevic
Sanja Bogojević
The purpose of this article is to show it is only in light of legal culture that climate change jurisprudence in the EU can be explained. 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, …
Law, The Laws Of Nature And Ecosystem Energy Services: A Case Of Wilful Blindness, David R. Hodas
Law, The Laws Of Nature And Ecosystem Energy Services: A Case Of Wilful Blindness, David R. Hodas
David R. Hodas
Ecosystems services include the collection, concentration, and storage of solar energy as fossil fuels (e.g., coal, petroleum, and natural gas). These concentrated forms of energy were produced by ancient ecosystem services. However, our legal and economic systems fail to recognise the value of the ecosystem service subsidies embedded in fossil fuels. This ecosystem services price subsidy causes overuse and waste of fossil fuels in the free market: fossil fuels are consumed more quickly than they can be replaced by ecosystem services and in far larger quantities than they would be if the price of fossil fuels included the cost of …

Environmental Harms, Use Conflicts, And Neutral Baselines In Environmental Law, Todd Aagaard
Environmental Harms, Use Conflicts, And Neutral Baselines In Environmental Law, Todd Aagaard
Todd S Aagaard
Accounts of environmental law that rely on concepts of environmental harm and environmental protection oversimplify the tremendous variety of uses of environmental resources and the often complex relationships among those uses. Such approaches are analytically unclear and, more importantly, insert hidden normativity into putatively descriptive claims. Instead of thinking about environmental law in terms of preventing environmental harm, environmental problems can be understood more specifically and more meaningfully as disputes over conflicting uses of environmental resources. This Article proposes a use-conflict framework as a means of acquiring a deeper understanding of environmental problems and lawmaking without favoring any particular normative …
