Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This chapter will assess the Antarctic Treaty System, ask what polar lessons can be learned regarding common pool resources, and analyze law of the sea and related measures. It will consider such substantive areas as Arctic and Antarctic natural resource management and procedural opportunities as inclusive governance structures. Enhancing good governance can occur through trust building forums that bring together stakeholders, share information, and make environmentally sound decisions regarding sustainable development.
Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Energy Revolution And Disaster Response In The Face Of Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Nuclear meltdown in Japan and civil society strife across the Middle East highlight the degree to which resilience is core to international peace and security. This article considers the means by which communities can become increasingly resilient through shared best practices across a range of climate change measures.
China In Context: Energy, Water, And Climate Cooperation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
China In Context: Energy, Water, And Climate Cooperation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Climate resilient communities can be achieved with the support of global research, development, deployment, and diffusion of environmentally sound low GHG emission technologies and processes. Technology cooperation should lower emissions remaining mindful of biodiversity, ecosystem services and livelihoods. China and the United States need to respond effectively to both economic and climate crises and can do so in part by cooperating on environmentally sound technology that transforms the global use of energy.
Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resource Management, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Collaborative Community-Based Natural Resource Management, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This article analyzes the importance of increasing civil society actor access to and influence in international legal and policy negotiations, drawing from academic scholarship on governance, conservation and environmental sustainability, natural resource management, observations of civil society actors, and the authors’ experiences as participants in international environmental negotiations.
Wind Power, National Security, And Sound Energy Policy, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Wind Power, National Security, And Sound Energy Policy, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Wind-generated electricity in the United States has grown by more than 400 percent since 2000. According to the Department of Energy, 6 percent of US land could supply more than one and a half times the current electricity consumption of the country. Yet, challenges remain in matching demand for electricity with supply of wind as well as achieving grid parity. Careful wind turbine and transmission line siting can occur through cooperation between federal, state, tribal, and civil society participation in decision-making. Tribal wind initiatives have shown that developing wind power can also benefit rural communities. Congress should pass a national …
Energy Security, Green Job Creation, And Youth Innovation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Energy Security, Green Job Creation, And Youth Innovation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Global energy demand is likely to increase by 45 percent by 2030. Climate change will threaten existing employment and necessitate new green jobs. Funding has gone towards such renewable energy technologies as wind and solar; such fuel economy options as second-generation hybrids, plug-in electrics, and fuel cell vehicles; increased appliance efficiency; and such water-efficient farming methods as drip irrigation. Youth innovation can play a powerful role in achieving sustainable development. Nobel Peace Prize winner Professor Muhammad Yunus has demonstrated how micro finance in the form of small loans can help poor people start or expand entrepreneurial endeavors. Government funded research …
Energy Policy, Intellectual Property And Technology Transfer To Address Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Energy Policy, Intellectual Property And Technology Transfer To Address Climate Change, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
A weather beaten economy has become a wake up call. The International Energy Agency predicts that carbon emissions will rise 130 percent and oil demand will rise 70 percent by 2050. A sound energy policy that addresses climate change relies upon widespread transfer and implementation of environmentally sound technology. Multilateral cooperation can achieve environmentally sound technology transfer within in a meaningful time frame to address climate change.
Water Is Security, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Water Is Security, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Reasonable and equitable water resource decision-making is at the core of good governance around the world. Sustained water collaboration is an antidote to foreign relations disintegration. Lack of water quality and quantity policies can lead to water insecurity for everyone, yet bureaucratic obstacles such as inertia and corruption must be averted in altering water governance schemes. There are multiple ways to lower transaction costs and strive for optimal water use. Several ingredients of good water governance include: (1) broad participation through the entire decision-making process; (2) transparent flow of information; (3) equitable opportunities to increase well-being; (4) accountability from governments, …
Multilateral Climate Change Mitigation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Multilateral Climate Change Mitigation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
A long-term framework to address climate change is within political reach. This article examines how greenhouse gas mitigation can occur across economic and political fault lines. Climate is a public good requiring the development of an energy strategy based upon international cooperation, energy efficiency, and sustainable technological development.
