The Effect Of Allowing Pollution Offsets With Imperfect Enforcement, Hilary A. Sigman, Howard F. Chang Sep 2010

The Effect Of Allowing Pollution Offsets With Imperfect Enforcement, Hilary A. Sigman, Howard F. Chang

All Faculty Scholarship

Several pollution control regimes, including climate change policies, allow polluters in one sector subject to an emissions cap to offset excessive emissions in that sector with pollution abatement in another sector. The government may often find it more costly to verify offset claims than to verify compliance with emissions caps, and concerns about difficulties in enforcement may lead regulators to restrict the use of offsets. In this paper, we demonstrate that allowing offsets may increase pollution abatement and reduce illegal pollution, even if the government has a fixed enforcement budget. We explore the circumstances that may make it preferable to …


Early Experience With The Kyoto Compliance System: Possible Lessons For Mea Compliance System Design, Meinhard Doelle, Meinhard Doelle Jan 2010

Early Experience With The Kyoto Compliance System: Possible Lessons For Mea Compliance System Design, Meinhard Doelle, Meinhard Doelle

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Regardless of the future of the Kyoto compliance system, much of its work will continue to be important both for the climate change regime and for other MEAs. While it is impossible to make accurate predictions about the substance of the climate change regime after 2012, it is nevertheless important to reflect on the experience with the Kyoto compliance system to date for MEA compliance generally. Adjustments to the Kyoto compliance system necessitated by post 2012 changes to the substantive obligations can, of course, only be considered once those changes are known. The central question posed in this article is …

Are All ‘Legal Dollars’ Created Equal?, Doron Teichman, Yuval Feldman Feb 2007

Are All ‘Legal Dollars’ Created Equal?, Doron Teichman, Yuval Feldman

ExpressO

For several decades law and economic scholars have employed the tools of price theory in order to evaluate an array of legal questions ranging from criminal sanctions to contract remedies. This vast body of literature implicitly assumed that all payments made through the legal system are fungible. In other words, just as a dollar paid for a tomato is identical to a dollar paid for a cucumber, so are a dollar paid as a pollution tax to the government and a dollar paid as compensation to the party injured by the pollution. In this study we challenge this assumption, and …

Climate Change And The Use Of The Dispute Settlement Regime Of The Law Of The Sea Convention, Meinhard Doelle Jan 2006

Climate Change And The Use Of The Dispute Settlement Regime Of The Law Of The Sea Convention, Meinhard Doelle

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

This article explores the connection between obligations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the climate change regime and obligations to protect the marine environment under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Within the context of the state of the science on the links between climate change and the marine environment, the article considers whether the emission of greenhouse gases as a result of human activity constitutes a violation of various obligations under the UNCLOS. Having identified a number of possible violations, the article proceeds to consider the application of the binding dispute settlement process …

Effective Environmental Enforcement: The Missing Link To Achieving Sustainable Development, Linda Francis Duncan Jan 1997

Effective Environmental Enforcement: The Missing Link To Achieving Sustainable Development, Linda Francis Duncan

LLM Theses

In response to the emergence of sustainable development as the dominant environmental and economic paradigm, a number of mechanisms have been developed to assist in the implementation of these principles. Examples of these "super" instruments abound--market measures, eco-covenants, joint implementation and voluntary compliance. Appreciably less enthusiasm has been dedicated to capacity building for other more traditional tools prescribed by international laws. Counted among the disregarded tools is the widely maligned and misunderstood role of enforcement. This thesis argues that the potential for effecting innovative reforms may be significantly threatened by an underlying misunderstanding and failed appreciation of the critical role …
