Holding Polluters Accountable In Times Of Climate And Covid Risk: The Problems With “Emergency” Enforcement Waivers, Victor B. Flatt
Holding Polluters Accountable In Times Of Climate And Covid Risk: The Problems With “Emergency” Enforcement Waivers, Victor B. Flatt
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
One of the first actions of the Environmental Protection Agency after the declaration of the COVID-19 crisis in mid-March 2020 was to announce that it would relax its enforcement policies with respect to environmental reporting and violations during the time of the pandemic. Ostensibly this was to ensure that regulated entities were not penalized by their inability to have inspectors on the front lines to ensure that substantive permit and monitoring requirements were followed. Taking their lead from the EPA, many states announced that they were following suit.
EPA always has discretion in terms of enforcement, but in making a …
The World After Teitiota: What The Hrc Decision Means For The Future Of Climate Migration, Lucia Rose
The World After Teitiota: What The Hrc Decision Means For The Future Of Climate Migration, Lucia Rose
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
The effects of global climate change is forecasted to cause millions of people to leave their homes and home countries over the next century. Until this point, the current legal framework for determining the fate and protection of people feeling their homes due to emergency was rooted in the United Nations (“UN”) Refugee Convention of 1951 and has been read to exclude those whose primary reason for migration is the effects or threat of climate change. However, the UN Human Rights Committee’s (HRC) January 2020 decision regarding Ioane Teitiota’s deportation to his home nation of the Republic of Kiribati suggests …
Carb V. Climate Change: Regulating California’S Land Use Regime To Reduce Transportation Emissions, William C. Shepherd Iv
Carb V. Climate Change: Regulating California’S Land Use Regime To Reduce Transportation Emissions, William C. Shepherd Iv
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
California is currently facing two massive problems: climate change and affordable housing. The issues of affordable housing and greenhouse gas emissions intersect in the instance of vehicle miles traveled – the amount of miles driven by Californians in a given amount of time. Local governments have continuously excluded high density housing developments and contributed to rapidly increasing housing costs. As a result, many Californians must travel far distances between work and home. Increased vehicle miles traveled results in increased greenhouse gas emissions. Because local control has contributed to these problems, state regulation of vehicle miles traveled is needed to combat …
From Covid-19 To Climate Change: Disaster & Inequality At The Crossroads, Cinnamon P. Carlarne
From Covid-19 To Climate Change: Disaster & Inequality At The Crossroads, Cinnamon P. Carlarne
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
This essay explores how the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic exposes and exacerbates structural inequalities in ways that are both obvious and alarming. It suggests that, even as the pandemic worsens inequality it forces us to confront it, and to see how the impacts of climate change will ripple unevenly across existing pathways of disparity.
The essay begins by examining how the COVID-19 pandemic is spotlighting and intensifying inequality and suggests that the vivid harms of the pandemic compel us to do more and do better to address structural inequality. The essay then provides an account of how climate change interacts with …
Judicial Perspectives On Climate Change And The Constitution, Kameron T. Wright
Judicial Perspectives On Climate Change And The Constitution, Kameron T. Wright
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
This Comment converges at the intersection of Constitutional Law and Climate Law. It seeks to explore six various jurisprudential perspectives and juridical decision-making models in their application to the modern threat of climate change. Based in some part on Professor Christopher Stone’s seminal work Should Trees Have Standing? and Professor Roy Brooks’ book Structures of Judicial Decision Making from Legal Formalism to Critical Theory, I attempt to provide insight and new lenses by which the legal scholar may view the legal debate on climate change.
I first digest, through six judicial perspectives, a rather important climate law Supreme Court …
There’S Something In The Water: Toxic Exposure Liability Of Public Water Suppliers In The Face Of Near-Universal Pfas Exposure, David Lloyd
San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law
California has not experienced the type of willful, large-scale PFAS pollution that states that hosted its manufacture, such as Ohio and West Virginia, have endured. Regardless, the ubiquity of these chemicals in California’s food and water supply, combined with a growing awareness of the serious health risks of PFAS exposure, prompted California to become a nationwide leader in PFAS regulation. In 2017, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) “added PFOA and PFOS to the Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity” without setting a “maximum allowable dose level, below which no …
