An Equitable Transformation Of The Energy System: The Role Of State-Level Incentives For Distributed Energy Resources, Trinidad A. Kechkian
An Equitable Transformation Of The Energy System: The Role Of State-Level Incentives For Distributed Energy Resources, Trinidad A. Kechkian
Harvey M. Applebaum ’59 Award
One of the great obstacles to the transition to clean energy is that not everyone has an equal opportunity to participate. While previous research has demonstrated that the distribution of solar photovoltaic and battery storage technologies is correlated with race and ethnicity, income, educational attainment, and other variables, it has failed to perform similar analyses on specific clean energy incentive programs. This study evaluates the equitability of past and current state-level incentive programs for solar photovoltaic and battery storage systems in California and Massachusetts using multiple linear regression models. Among the most notable results, for the California programs that are …
Climate Change Has Beef With Federal Cattle Grazing, John David Janicek
Climate Change Has Beef With Federal Cattle Grazing, John David Janicek
Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy
Increased emissions of greenhouse gases are causing the Earths climate to change producing extreme temperatures and dangerous conditions for mankind. Livestock is positioned at a unique juncture of the current and future fight against atmospheric temperature rise. These animals produce the very nutrients a growing world population needs to survive, and the meat they yield plays an important role in all world cultures. Unfortunately, the production of livestock is considered one of the most significant emitters of greenhouse gases, of which cattle is the largest contributor. Therefore, a balance must be struck between livestock production and preservation of the Earth. …

Wicked Problems: Understanding How Cities And Counties In California Are Tackling Climate Change And Homelessness, Guadalupe Michelle Franco
Master's Theses
California continues to endure the detrimental effects of climate change, such as poor air quality, flooding, and heatwaves. Concurrently, the state has seen an increase in the number of unhoused communities due to various ramifications such as rapid urbanization, failed political leadership, and restricted housing policies. While unhoused communities fight to access basic services, they must also now adapt to the looming impacts of climate change. Unhoused populations are especially vulnerable to climate change as they have limited access to shelter, spend the majority of their time outdoors, and lack the economic ability to adapt. While cities and counties are …

Finding Better Words: Markets, Property, Rights, And Resources, Andrew P. Morriss, Roger E. Meiners, Bruce Yandle
Finding Better Words: Markets, Property, Rights, And Resources, Andrew P. Morriss, Roger E. Meiners, Bruce Yandle
Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy
To use or conserve environmental and natural resources effectively is complex. Many economists believe that institutional solutions built around markets and property rights can help improve results. This approach addresses what Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto termed the “missing lessons of U.S. history”— institutions whose designers may not have understood the outcomes that would occur, but the results were generally beneficial. However, technical economic analysis generally fails to persuade many at the policy level. Adding a focus on the practicality of solving issues by voluntary action will enrich the policy discussions. To do so requires economists to provide concrete examples …

Addressing A Complex Resource Conflict: Humans, Sea Otters, And Shellfish In Southeast Alaska, Sonia Natalie Ibarra
Addressing A Complex Resource Conflict: Humans, Sea Otters, And Shellfish In Southeast Alaska, Sonia Natalie Ibarra
Fisheries
Complex resource conflicts may benefit from the inclusion of social-ecological systems approaches that recognize the complex linkages between humans and their environment. Competition for shared shellfish resources by sea otters and humans in Southeast Alaska has caused food security concerns, cultural and economic losses, and uncertainty about the future of various fisheries, including rural subsistence-based fisheries. In rural Alaska Native communities, access to subsistence resources are critical to maintaining a way of life, with deeply rooted knowledge systems that are tied to the land, water, and natural resources. This dissertation documents Indigenous and local knowledge of Alaska Native customary and …
At What Cost: Modern Capitalism And The Future Of Health (Preface), Nicholas Freudenberg
At What Cost: Modern Capitalism And The Future Of Health (Preface), Nicholas Freudenberg
Publications and Research
Freedom of choice lies at the heart of American society. Every day, individuals decide what to eat, which doctors to see, who to connect with online, and where to educate their children. Yet, many Americans don't realize that these choices are illusory at best. By the start of the 21st century, every major industrial sector in the global economy was controlled by no more than five transnational corporations, and in about a third of these sectors, a single company accounted for more than 40 percent of global sales. The available options in food, healthcare, education, transportation, and even online presence …
The Bitcoin Standard: The Pursuit Of Sound Monetary And Environmental Management Systems, Yuta T. Kobayashi
The Bitcoin Standard: The Pursuit Of Sound Monetary And Environmental Management Systems, Yuta T. Kobayashi
Student Theses 2015-Present
The adoption of blockchain technology as a medium for monetary and management systems creates an opportunity for an environmentally conscious economic system. This paper discusses how Bitcoin and blockchain would provide a socio-economic management system better aligned with a society’s eco-friendly aims and to address the extent of environmental degradation. Unfortunately, our ecosystems are not being protected or restored reflective of the value they provide. Economic models also ignore the varied costs of polluting our ecosystems. Advancements of blockchain-based technology enable a decisive move from current legacy market structures and incentives. Efforts in environmental policy and regulation have ultimately been …

Chapter 2 explores how New York City is working to address climate change. Chapter 3, explores the role that urban agriculture can play in moving urban areas closer towards a future of climate resiliency. Within …
Commodifying The Commons: American Individualism And Corporate Agriculture, Sarah A. Cryer
Commodifying The Commons: American Individualism And Corporate Agriculture, Sarah A. Cryer
Student Theses 2015-Present
An individualistic ideology strongly defines the American value system, shaping the economic and political landscape of the country. It encourages a competitive, free-market economy with little government restriction, prioritizing short term economic growth over environmental and social sustainability. This paper addresses how American individualism fuels the commodification of food and corporately controlled agriculture. The egocentric ideology opens the door for unfettered corporate control of farming, meant to maximize profit and control resources, despite its effects on food insecurity and small farms. Consolidated agriculture, corporate contracts, and farm subsidies are meant to expand the pockets of corporations, though leaving low income …
The True Cost Of Clothes: Sustainability Issues In The Fashion Industry, Grace Costa
The True Cost Of Clothes: Sustainability Issues In The Fashion Industry, Grace Costa
Student Theses 2015-Present
Fashion is one of the most environmentally harmful industries on the planet. From greenhouse gas emissions to toxic chemicals in water supplies, the price that the planet, and vulnerable populations, must pay in the production of the clothing we wear each day is not cheap. This paper discusses the role that the fashion industry plays in environmental degradation today, as well as strategies that can be employed within the industry to make it more sustainable. Chapter 1 provides an overview of and through quantitative data on why and how the manufacturing and sale of clothing is environmentally harmful. Chapter 2 …
A Meadow From Above: Expanding Green Roof Implementation In Nyc, Lydia Hallett
A Meadow From Above: Expanding Green Roof Implementation In Nyc, Lydia Hallett
Student Theses 2015-Present
Urban green roofs are among the encouraging climate solutions that can transform the future of cities. The reincorporation of vegetation into the built environment enhances invaluable natural services, like clean air and water, for all New Yorkers to enjoy. Although the natural services aren’t economically valued, the benefits that stem from them are. Benefits range from stormwater management, increased property value and increased lifespan of roofs, and lower energy bills. Many buildings can be retrofitted for green roofs that work with natural systems to maximize the environmental, economic, and social benefits unique to the needs or wants of the installer. …

Conservation And Murder: The Plight Of Indigenous Land Defenders In Mexico, Costa Rica, New Zealand And The Philippines, Jillian G. Kenny
Student Theses 2015-Present
This thesis focuses on four countries: Mexico, Costa Rica, New Zealand and the Philippines, and focuses on the state of Indigenous land defender cases in each country. Each country has a different approach to granting free, prior, and informed consent to Indigenous communities in regard to environmental issues. Chapter 1 focuses on the issue of Indigenous land and environment defenders, explaining who they are and why they are activists within their communities. It also elucidates how Indigenous people are being treated within their countries and how reliance on ecosystem services leads to an environmental justice issue. Chapter 2 focuses on …

Introduction: Managed Retreat And Environmental Justice In A Changing Climate, A. R. Siders, Idowu Ajibade
Geography Faculty Publications and Presentations
In response to global climate change, managed retreat has emerged as a controversial adaptation strategy. The purposeful movement of people and communities away from hazardous places raises numerous social and environmental justice concerns that will become even more pressing as retreat occurs more frequently and at larger scales. This special issue contributes to an emerging body of literature on managed retreat by providing a range of perspectives and approaches to considering justice in managed retreat. The assembled papers represent diverse voices(including perspectives from individuals whose communities are currently relocating or considering relocation), disciplines (including oral histories, legal analyses, and cultural …

“Reconciliation” In Undergraduate Education In Canada: The Application Of Indigenous Knowledge In Conservation, Danika Billie Littlechild, Chance Finegan, Deborah Mcgregor
“Reconciliation” In Undergraduate Education In Canada: The Application Of Indigenous Knowledge In Conservation, Danika Billie Littlechild, Chance Finegan, Deborah Mcgregor
Articles & Book Chapters
Both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) explicitly emphasized the role of educators in “reconciliation.” Alongside this, conservation practitioners are increasingly interacting with Indigenous Peoples in various ways, such as in the creation and support of Indigenous protected areas and (or) guardian programs. This paper considers how faculty teaching aspiring conservation practitioners can respond appropriately to the TRC and MMIWG Inquiry while preparing students to engage with Indigenous Peoples in a way that affirms, rather than questions Indigenous knowledge and aspirations. Our argument is threefold: first, teaching …
A Living City: Food Accessibility And Urban Growth In New York City, Kat Coleman
A Living City: Food Accessibility And Urban Growth In New York City, Kat Coleman
Student Theses 2015-Present
This paper examines the way in which food equity and localization initiatives, specifically in New York City, are a vital response to urban growth and sustainable food demand. Improvements to the current food system in the form of changing the way food is produced, procured, stored, transported, and distributed improves nutrition and contributes to urban sustainability. Chapter 1 provides data on urban environmental justice issues related to food equity, drawing on research from the United Nations and food justice organizations in New York City. Chapter 2 explores the ethical issues surrounding food access and food justice in an increasingly urban …
The Pandemic Legacy: Accounting For Working-From-Home Emissions, Michael P. Vandenbergh, Sharon Shewmake
The Pandemic Legacy: Accounting For Working-From-Home Emissions, Michael P. Vandenbergh, Sharon Shewmake
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in millions of employees working from home, a development that is challenging public and private standards for reporting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under these standards, corporations disclose the emissions from large buildings and the power plants that supply them with energy, but most do not report other types of emissions. When employees shift from working at an office to working at home, the corporate emissions appear to have decreased even though they have simply shifted beyond the boundary of the reporting requirement. This move creates greenwashing risks--the ability to claim that corporate greenhouse gas …
