From the foreword by Durwood Zaelke, President, Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development, Washington, DC.
“Since the beginning of time, human knowledge and culture have been passed down through stories. Short stories, songs, prayers, poems, even paintings can stick in your mind forever. These have always been the most powerful ways we learn and remember.
Tony is not only one of the world’s greatest lawyers, he is also one of the world’s greatest storytellers.
This book, in which he generously shares his experiences, his scars, and most importantly his humanity, is Tony’s gift to generations to come.
But he does …
Alienation And Reconciliation In Social-Ecological Systems, 2017 University of South Carolina - Columbia
Alienation And Reconciliation In Social-Ecological Systems, Ann M. Eisenberg
Faculty Publications
After rancher Ammon Bundy’s forceful occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to protest federal “tyranny” in 2016, mainstream commentary dismissed Bundy and his supporters as crackpots. But the dismissal of the occupation as errant overlooked this event’s significance. This conflict: 1) involved a clash over scarce natural resources, of the type that will likely gain more frequency and intensity in the face of climate change; and 2) highlighted the popular idea that the federal government and federal environmental regulations are the enemy of the (white, rural, male) worker. This thread of antienvironmental, anti-federal alienation among many working people has …

Business Responsibilities For Human Rights And Climate Change - A Contribution To The Work Of The Study Group On Business And Human Rights Of The International Law Association, Sara L. Seck
Reports & Public Policy Documents
This contribution to the work of the International Law Association’s Study Group on Business and Human Rights considers the relationship between business responsibilities for human rights and climate change. While it is now widely accepted that the adverse effects of climate change undermine the enjoyment of human rights, and that businesses have a responsibility to respect human rights, the relationship between business responsibilities for human rights and climate change is unclear. This paper first considers state duties to protect human rights from climate change harms, including harms arising from business activities, and second, considers how the business responsibility to respect …

Publications
Following the introduction, Part One documents the effects of on-stream dams on fisheries, aquatic habitat and fishing-dependent communities.

Part Three then identifies the rights of upstream/downstream nations under international water law pertaining to the impoundment and release of water from on-stream dams on waterways where fisheries are present. Next, in Part Four, the Article considers how international environmental impact assessment obligations relate to the construction and operation of on-stream dams. Finally, …

The Former Asarco Demolition Fallout, A Post Study On Lead Soil Concentrations And Environmental Agents Of Redistribution In El Paso, Texas, Stephanie A. Robinson
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The former El Paso ASARCO Smelting and Refining Co. operated between 1877 and 1999, the pyrometallurgic activity was estimated to have discharged excess of a 1,000 tons of lead (Pb) into the atmosphere from 1969-71. It was estimated 96 tons of (Pb) were emitted on an annual basis from the standing ore and fluid beds. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that lead (Pb) is the heavy metal of the highest concentration within the vicinity of the smelter. After the smelter production ceased, flash flooding common to the southwest, such as the 2006 historic flood, increased transportation of superficial contaminants …

Home Rule In An Era Of Local Environmental Innovation, Sarah J. Fox
IPR Papers & Reports
As 2016’s national election made clear, striking ideological differences between cities and their surrounding states exist in many parts of the country. One way this divide is manifesting itself is in state governments passing laws with the sole purpose of outlawing particular local conduct. For instance, recent state legislation has prohibited local governments from establishing a minimum wage, from prohibiting the use of plastic bags, and from protecting the rights of transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their identified gender. These state actions do not create substantive law; instead, they merely curtail the grant of authority—known, broadly speaking, as …

The Dodd-Frank Solution To Predatory Lending, 2017 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law
The Dodd-Frank Solution To Predatory Lending, Marko Stojkovic
Public Interest Law Reporter
This Article is part two of a two-part series exploring the dangers of predatory lending and how Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") have solved predatory lending and ended the possibility of another subprime debacle. Part one covered how predatory lending harmed minority, low-income, and immigrant communities, and was a main cause of the 2008 economic collapse. Part two will show how the CFPB was built to stop and prevent predatory lending and another subprime debacle. The enactment and implementation of Dodd-Frank and the CFPB have improved the mortgage market. However, politicians and lawmakers, notably President Donald Trump …
