Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Elizabeth Burleson
Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Elizabeth Burleson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article considers the means by which communities can become increasingly resilient through shared best practices across a range of climate change measures. Part II of this article will address emergency preparedness for effective disaster response. Part III will analyze how decision-makers can use adaptive management in a shared local, regional, national, and international cohesive frame- work. Part IV will recommend resilient green building strategies. This article concludes that in the midst of an unprecedented energy revolution, there are meaningful emergency preparedness measures that the international community can facilitate to build resilience in the face of natural and unnatural disasters.
From Coase To Collaborative Property Decision-Making: Green Economy Innovation, Elizabeth Burleson
From Coase To Collaborative Property Decision-Making: Green Economy Innovation, Elizabeth Burleson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article considers the advantages and disadvantages of market-based program design, natural gas regulation, and enhanced international understanding. Transitioning to a green economy involves dedicating efforts towards environmentally sound energy innovation. RGGI, natural gas, and climate change represent sustainability challenges. Optimizing cooperative transboundary green innovation can facilitate inclusive decision making just as public participation by civil society can help economies transition to environmentally sound energy use. Building upon progress made in the human lights and environment fields can advance both and enhance resilience.
Water, Climate, And Energy Security, Elizabeth Burleson
Water, Climate, And Energy Security, Elizabeth Burleson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Civil society participation can facilitate sound energy, climate, and water governance. This article analyzes the dynamics of transnational decision-making. Part II discusses sound energy strategy in light of a shrinking water-resources base due to climate change. Part III considers how public participation in international decision-making can sustain trust in governments and strengthen the legitimacy of legal decisions. Part IV concludes that process and outcome are both integral to addressing water, climate, and energy challenges.
Capturing Individual Harms, Katrina Fischer Kuh
Capturing Individual Harms, Katrina Fischer Kuh
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The aggregated lifestyles and behaviors of individuals impose significant environmental harms yet remain largely unregulated. A growing literature recognizes the environmental significance of individual behaviors, critiques the failure of environmental law and policy to capture harms traceable to individual behaviors, and suggests and evaluates strategies for capturing individual harms going forward. This Article contributes to the existing literature by approaching the problem of environmentally significant individual harms through the lens of environmental federalism. Using climate change and individual greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions as an exemplar, the Article illustrates how local information, local governments, and local implementation can enhance policies designed …
