Innovation Cooperation: Energy Biosciences And Law, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Innovation Cooperation: Energy Biosciences And Law, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This Article analyzes the development and dissemination of environmentally sound technologies that can address climate change. Climate change poses catastrophic health and security risks on a global scale. Universities, individual innovators, private firms, civil society, governments, and the United Nations can unite in the common goal to address climate change. This Article recommends means by which legal, scientific, engineering, and a host of other public and private actors can bring environmentally sound innovation into widespread use to achieve sustainable development. In particular, universities can facilitate this collaboration by fostering global innovation and diffusion networks.

Cancun Climate Negotiations, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
The United Nations Climate Change Conference, held from November 29 to December 11, 2010, in CancĂșn, Mexico, relaunched the United Nation's multilateral facilitation role.
Tribes As Essential Partners In Achieving Sustainable Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Tribes As Essential Partners In Achieving Sustainable Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Indigenous peoples have modeled sustainable development around the world. Incentivizing the innovation and instillation of wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources can come in the form of public funding, including renewable portfolio standards, feed in tariffs and green tag programs. This article analyzes ways in which tribal communities are helping to expand cooperative good governance.
Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Nuclear meltdown in Japan and civil society strife across the Middle East highlight the degree to which resilience is core to international peace and security. This article considers the means by which communities can become increasingly resilient through shared best practices across a range of climate change measures.
China In Context: Energy, Water, And Climate Cooperation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
China In Context: Energy, Water, And Climate Cooperation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Climate resilient communities can be achieved with the support of global research, development, deployment, and diffusion of environmentally sound low GHG emission technologies and processes. Technology cooperation should lower emissions remaining mindful of biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. China and the United States need to respond effectively to both economic and climate crises and can do so in part by cooperating on environmentally sound technology that transforms the global use of energy.
Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resource Management, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resource Management, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This article analyzes the importance of increasing civil society actor access to and influence in international legal and policy negotiations, drawing from academic scholarship on governance, conservation and environmental sustainability, natural resource management, observations of civil society actors, and the authorsâ experiences as participants in international environmental negotiations.
Emerging Law Addressing Climate Change And Water, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Emerging Law Addressing Climate Change And Water, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
The World Economic Forum recognizes that while restrictions on energy affect water systems and vice versa, energy and water policy are rarely coordinated. The International Panel on Climate Change predicts that wet places will become wetter and dry places will become dryer. Transboundary water, energy and climate coordination can occur through international consensus building.
Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Transboundary environmental problems do not distinguish between political boundaries. Global warming is expected to cause thermal expansion of water and melt glaciers. Both are predicted to lead to a rise in sea level. We must enlarge our paradigms to encompass a global reality and reliance upon global participation.
