Access To Environmentally Sound Technology In The Developing World: A Proposed Alternative To Compulsory Licensing, Neel Maitra
Access To Environmentally Sound Technology In The Developing World: A Proposed Alternative To Compulsory Licensing, Neel Maitra
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
In 2008, a report published by McKinsey & Co. predicted that a successful program of action on climate change would require the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 76% by the year 2050. In order to achieve this seemingly daunting target, the report recognized that the transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) from the developed to the developing world was an urgent necessity. The report cited other sources to acknowledge that such technology transfer was unlikely to be achieved even by a combination of market incentives and funding from developed-world governments.
If market-oriented means, supported by governments, do not suffice …
Towards A Greenhouse Gas Labeling Regime For Food, Travis Annatoyn
Towards A Greenhouse Gas Labeling Regime For Food, Travis Annatoyn
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
This paper proposes that the federal government implement greenhouse gas labeling standards for food and food products sold within the United States. A labeling regime of this sort would shift consumer purchasing from “high emission” to “low emission” foods and encourage consumer awareness that food, like any other commodity, has a GHG “price.”
Cash For Clunky Appliances, Anna S. Fleder
Cash For Clunky Appliances, Anna S. Fleder
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
This paper examines the viability of a “Cash for Appliances” (“CfA”) program that targets home appliances toward the goal of increasing energy efficiency and decreasing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. Analyzing an existing CfA effort at the federal level, this paper argues that the case for a federal CfA program is strong, but that the current federal effort falls short of fulfilling its potential. The analysis proceeds in four parts. Part I makes the case for a Cash for Appliances program as a policy tool for promoting energy efficiency. Part II examines existing programs that have done just this – utilized …
The Obama Administration's First Environmental Policy Changes, Michael B. Gerrard
The Obama Administration's First Environmental Policy Changes, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
Under President Clinton the U.S. EPA took the position that it had the authority to regulate greenhouse gases (GHGs) from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act as written, but the Clinton administration did not take affirmative steps to actually employ that authority. When President Bush took office, the General Counsel of EPA took the opposite position, stating that it would need special authorizing legislation in order to architect that regulation. A petition was filed with the EPA by the International Council for Technology Assessment and other organizations asking EPA to impose such regulations. EPA denied the petition. This led …
Painting Redd Offsets Green: A Case For Statutory Deuteranopia, Rommel Casis
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 …
Coal-Fired Powerplants Dominate Climate Change Litigation, Michael B. Gerrard
Coal-Fired Powerplants Dominate Climate Change Litigation, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
Litigation aiming to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is coming to be dominated by battles over coal-fired power plants. Ten of the last 20 judicial or administrative decisions or case filings in matters aiming to reduce GHGs have concerned such plants. A concerted effort by the environmental community to fight the use of coal is behind much of this litigation. According to the Energy Information Administration, the combustion of coal is the largest source of GHG emissions in the United States; motor vehicles are a not-very-close second.
The Sierra Club has a Web site that tracks all the proposed …
Cash-For-Clunkers Program: Better For Industry Than Environment, Michael B. Gerrard
Cash-For-Clunkers Program: Better For Industry Than Environment, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
On June 24, President Barack Obama signed into law the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS). For a limited period of time, it will give up to $4,500 to owners of vehicles with poor fuel economy who trade them in for more efficient new vehicles. This “cash-for-clunkers” program was touted as meeting three objectives: increasing vehicle sales, at a time when the U.S. auto industry is struggling; reducing fuel use; and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This column will describe how the new program will work and what kinds of vehicles can be turned in and purchased …

A Guide To Searching Cyberspace Law Online, Jennifer L. Selby
Law Librarian Scholarship
Cyberspace law is an umbrella term that touches on and encompasses many different areas of the law, including Internet, intellectual property, cybercrime, e-commerce, and privacy, among others. Cyberspace law includes aspects of United States law, in addition to foreign, comparative, and international law.1 Today, legal researchers in cyberspace law can enhance their search capabilities with web-based resources, including primary and secondary materials. Many of the resources discussed here are available freely on the Internet. For those resources that are licensed and networked, researchers may access them only at subscribing law libraries, and not remotely.2

Financial Disclosure Of Risks Related To Global Climate Change, Michael B. Gerrard, Christopher Anderson
Financial Disclosure Of Risks Related To Global Climate Change, Michael B. Gerrard, Christopher Anderson
Faculty Scholarship
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations require publicly traded companies to disclose the material impacts of environmental laws on their business. Increasing attention is being paid to the issue of securities disclosure of financial risks and opportunities posed by impending regulation relating to global climate change and by climate change itself.
The Value Of Year Books Of International Law, James C. Hathaway
The Value Of Year Books Of International Law, James C. Hathaway
Articles
Is there still a place for a 'Yearbook' of International Law? Viewed as no more than an annually published volume of scholarship, one would surely answer in the negative. There is no shortage of excellent law journals, including journals focused on international and comparative law. It is thus doubtful that any quality article published in a yearbook would have failed to find a good home elsewhere. With even relatively obscure law journals readily available in electronic form at minimal cost and with maximum ease, the case for a yearbook is surely weak if predicated simply on the importance of disseminating …
Survey Of Seqra Cases From 2007, Michael B. Gerrard
Survey Of Seqra Cases From 2007, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
The courts issued 58 decisions under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) in 2007.
Typically, plaintiffs have a much greater chance of success in SEQRA cases when no environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared: on average, in the cases from 1990 (when this column’s annual survey began) through 2006, plaintiffs won 15.9 percent of the cases where there is an EIS, and 38.6 percent of the cases without an EIS.
But in 2007 the ratio was much different. In the 22 cases with an EIS, plaintiffs won seven, or 31.8 percent. In the 27 cases without …
Mccain Vs. Obama On Environment, Energy, And Resources, Michael B. Gerrard
Mccain Vs. Obama On Environment, Energy, And Resources, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
For the first time in living memory, the environment is receiving significant attention in a presidential election. Both Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) have given speeches and run television advertisements on the issue and (after a slow start) are being asked questions by the national press about where they stand on climate change and energy.
This article compares the actions and positions of the two candidates on environmental, energy, and resources issues. It begins by looking at their voting records, presents their endorsements and campaign contributions, and then discusses their positions as shown in their campaign …

Survey Of Climate Change Litigation, Michael B. Gerrard
Survey Of Climate Change Litigation, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
Approximately 35 lawsuits have been filed in the United States concerning global climate change, together with several administrative proceedings and officially threatened actions. About half of them have led to judicial decisions, and several of those are under appeal; most of the rest are pending.
Much attention has deservedly gone to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Massachusetts v. the EPA, but that is only the tip of the figurative iceberg; and unlike most of the real ones, it is growing rather than melting.
This article surveys U.S. climate change litigation. The lawsuits can be broadly divided between those …
Class Gifts Under The Restatement (Third) Of Property, Lawrence W. Waggoner
Class Gifts Under The Restatement (Third) Of Property, Lawrence W. Waggoner
Articles
The new Restatement (Third) of Property (officially the Restatement (Third) of Property: Wills and Other Donative Transfers), in tandem with the Restatement (Third) of Trusts, is systematically proceeding through the whole field of wills, will substitutes, trusts, and estates. Both of the new Restatements should prove to be handy resources for trust and estate lawyers, not only in preparing to argue cases at both trial and appellate levels, but also in the everyday work of drafting and construing dispositive provisions in wills, trusts, and other types of donative documents. Each Restatement section is followed by a set of Comments explaining …
Stricter Rules On Storm Water Discharges Taking Effect, Michael B. Gerrard
Stricter Rules On Storm Water Discharges Taking Effect, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
On. 8, 2008, new requirements will take effect in New York requiring some previously unregulated entities to file for permits to discharge storm water, and imposing stricter or different requirements on those entities that are already regulated.
The state is requiring urbanized communities and publicly owned institutions, referred to as municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), to establish fully functional stormwater management programs (SWMPs) by that date. The state has issued new draft permits for MS4s and also for operators of construction sites over one acre, which go into effect on Jan. 8.

Harnessing And Sharing The Benefits Of State-Sponsored Research: Intellectual Property Rights And Data Sharing In California's Stem Cell Initiative, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Arti K. Rai
Harnessing And Sharing The Benefits Of State-Sponsored Research: Intellectual Property Rights And Data Sharing In California's Stem Cell Initiative, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Arti K. Rai
Articles
This Article discusses data sharing in California's stem cell initiative against the background of other data sharing efforts and in light of the competing interests that CIRM is directed to balance. We begin by considering how IP law affects data sharing. We then assess the strategic considerations that guide the IP and data policies and strategies of federal, state, and private research sponsors. With this background, we discuss four specific sets of issues that public sponsors of data-rich research, including CIRM, are likely to confront: (1) how to motivate researchers to contribute data; (2) who should have access to the …
Emergency Exemptions From Environmental Laws After Disasters, Michael B. Gerrard
Emergency Exemptions From Environmental Laws After Disasters, Michael B. Gerrard
Faculty Scholarship
Many environmental statutes had their origins in disasters. And when disasters strike, the environmental laws come into play in the response. Some have urged Congress to adopt emergency exemptions so that the environmental laws do not interfere with rescue and recovery.
This article explains how disasters helped create our current statutes, and then describes the role that environmental laws played in the immediate response to the September 11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. It catalogs the multiple exemptions that already exist in the current environmental statutes and regulations and then summarizes the exemptions that were proposed after Hurricane Katrina.

Dedicated To The Memory Of Lee E. Teiteitelbaum, Carl E. Schneider
Articles
When I first met Lee Teitelbaum at a conference two decades ago, I was a novice and he a distinguished scholar. Because my colleagues admired him, I rang his room at the hotel and asked him to join me for dinner. He sweetly agreed. When he opened his door to my knock, I realized that he set standards I could never match-sartorial standards. Who was this king of glory? 1 stood there in my Oshkosh khakis and running shoes, agape and abashed. Despite this unpropitious start, our friendship ripened, and soon I realized Lee set standards of a finer and …
