Survey Of 2016 Cases Under New York State Environmental Quality Review Act, Michael B. Gerrard, Edward Mctiernan
Survey Of 2016 Cases Under New York State Environmental Quality Review Act, Michael B. Gerrard, Edward Mctiernan
Faculty Scholarship
The courts decided 46 cases in 2016 under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), which requires the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) for state or local governmental actions that could have a significant impact.
For only the second time since this annual survey began in 1991, no court overturned any agency decision where an EIS had been prepared. Eight challenges involved an EIS – all failed. In circumstances where there was no EIS, challengers won four and lost 20. In sum, 2016 was a bad year for plaintiffs in SEQRA cases.

Second, I describe the Philippines climate petition, a novel attempt to seek an investigation into the accountability of transnational fossil fuel companies for climate harms.
