Meaningful Participation In A Global Climate Regime, Bryant Walker Smith
Meaningful Participation In A Global Climate Regime, Bryant Walker Smith
Bryant Walker Smith
An effective climate regime must be global rather than merely international and must contemplate the significant involvement of actors other than states. “Meaningful participation” in a global climate regime is already occurring in the Global South. That participation helps to satisfy the existing international legal obligations undertaken by developing states and merits greater recognition in future legal regimes. Moreover, that participation constitutes a form of global governance separate from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and, regardless of its legal status, deserves greater attention in practical efforts to address climate change.
The article has several parts. First, …
Air Pollution As An Asset: China's Use Of The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism, Bryant Walker Smith
Air Pollution As An Asset: China's Use Of The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism, Bryant Walker Smith
Bryant Walker Smith
This article, which examines the use of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in the People's Republic of China, has two purposes. First, it places both China and the CDM in the larger context of international environmental law. Second, it analyzes and assesses China’s use of the CDM.
The article has six parts. Following a brief note about Taiwan, Part 3 discusses climate change and China. Part 4 tracks the global response to climate change, including the CDM. Part 5 examines the relationship between the CDM and China, and Part 6 concludes with a consideration of additional challenges present …
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.

Painting Redd Offsets Green: A Case For Statutory Deuteranopia, Rommel Casis
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
Offsets generated by projects for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (“REDD”) is a particularly controversial form of carbon offset. Excluded from the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms, REDD offsets are now making a comeback ever since the Bali Action Plan specifically referred to REDD. Most recently, the Copenhagen Accord recognized the crucial role of REDD and the need to enhance removals of GHG emissions by forests and agreed on the need to provide incentives to such actions to enable the mobilization of financial resources from developed countries.4 It would seem therefore that the issuance and trade of REDD offsets may finds …
