An Unnatural Disaster: The Aftermath Of Hurricane Katrina, Clifford Rechtschaffen
Publications

In the area of public health, safety, and the environment, the paper explores the implementation of wetlands law and policy, bad decisions regarding the construction and maintenance of the levee system designed to protect New Orleans, pollution prevention and clean-up laws, and energy policy.

Environmental Justice, Clifford Rechtschaffen, Eileen Guana, Catherine A. O'Neill
Publications
This white paper describes briefly the remarkable journey of community-based environmental justice advocates over the last 15 years and their impact on environmental regulation. It will also describe some of the empirical evidence of disparities and the regulatory dynamics that make these inequities an intractable problem, despite the collective efforts of grassroots leaders, environmental justice organizations, public interest law firms, and governmental officials. The paper then focuses on one important set of issues that must be tackled in order to achieve environmental justice: those involving injustice in risk regulation.

The Continued Success Of Proposition 65 In Reducing Toxic Exposures, Clifford Rechtschaffen, Patrick Williams
The Continued Success Of Proposition 65 In Reducing Toxic Exposures, Clifford Rechtschaffen, Patrick Williams
Publications
California’s Proposition 65 is by now a well-known regulatory tool for warning consumers about the potentially toxic components of products they consume or to which they are exposed. Rechtschaffen and Williams argue that while Proposition 65 has been subject to some abuses, it has also brought about important reductions in exposures to toxic substances. To make their point, they examine product reformulations caused by enforcement of Proposition 65’s warning requirements over the past five years.

A New Framework: Post-Kyoto Energy And Environmental Security, Lakshman D. Guruswamy
A New Framework: Post-Kyoto Energy And Environmental Security, Lakshman D. Guruswamy
Publications
In this article Professor Guruswamy advances an argument for new energy agreements that address the immense global environmental challenge presented by the increasing global energy demands of both the developed and developing world. Arguing that new energy accords are needed to meet this challenge, he identifies and describes the decidedly interdisciplinary knowledge base and analytics required to negotiate such international instruments. The construction of these knowledge bases call for scientific, engineering, technological, legal, social, economic and behavioral expertise. Professor Guruswamy identifies pragmatic steps--including a targeted research agenda--that will contribute to such an undertaking and begin the arduous process of addressing …
Indigenous Peoples' Rights To Water Under International Norms, David H. Getches
Indigenous Peoples' Rights To Water Under International Norms, David H. Getches
Publications
In this article, Dean Getches examines the nature of international law as it relates to indigenous water rights and evaluates the kinds of claims that native peoples might assert when they are deprived of access to water. Around the world, indigenous peoples have experienced depletion or pollution of their traditional water sources caused by the uses made by dominant, non-native societies. As a result, native peoples' ability to perform water-dependent vocations like farming and fishing, and to perpetuate cultures and spiritual practices requiring water is limited. While a few countries recognize water rights of indigenous peoples in their domestic laws, …
