In its definitive decision, the Constitutional Court ruled that marriage agreements could be established before, during, or after the marriage ceremony. This …

Organizing And Communicating Health: A Culture-Centered And Necrocapitalist Inquiry Of Groundwater Contamination In Rural West Bengal, Parameswari Mukherjee

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

As a discursive point of praxis, this dissertation project seeks to record knowledge from below around the overlaps between health, water and health interventions emerging from rural communities located in North 24 Parganas and Purulia in West Bengal that are disproportionately impacted by water-insecurity. My dissertation also documents how multiple-stakeholders such as local NGOs, international NGOs, non-profits, and donor agencies organize access to safe water and health interventions for the water-insecure communities located in North 24 Parganas and Purulia. The integration of the CCA and necrocapitalism afford theoretical and methodological guidance in this dissertation to help document the localocentric stories …

On The Hook-Can The Commercial Fishing Industry Hold Big Oil Accountable For Climate Change?, Matthew K. Bowen

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

In 2018, The Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations (“the Federation”) sued several oil companies over these domoic-acid-related closures during the Dungeness crab fishing season. The Federation alleges the underlying reason for the closures is climate change, which brought warmer seas (and, in turn, algae blooms that release domoic acid) because of greenhouse gas emissions. The Federation is pursuing legal action in response to the economic harms its members have faced from the fishing season closures. In a 2018 article from NPR, Mr. Oppenheim (quoted above) stated that the 2015 to 2016 crab fishing closure caused some boats to leave …

Hot August Nights: California’S Quest For Resource Adequacy Solutions To Promote Integration Of Renewables And Energy Storage In The Midst Of Climate Change-Related Challenges To Reliability, Noelle R. Formosa

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

This Article focuses on the CPUC RA program’s role in helping to keep the lights (and air conditioning) on while advancing California’s continued mission to decarbonize the grid, even in the face of extreme climate-change induced weather events. It explains how the existing RA program creates risks of overestimating the availability of some capacity, including solar, wind, and energy storage resources, to meet demand in the increasingly critical evening hours. These risks are attributable to the program’s original design, which assumed that all resources will be available to meet load in all hours. This Article outlines the major CPUC regulatory …

Carbon Capture And Storage: Models For Compensating Holdout Landowners, Keith B. Hall

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and numerous individual governments have concluded that largescale use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is vital as one tool to address climate change, even as society transitions to renewable sources of energy. CCS is important because transitioning to renewable sources of energy takes time and because some industries (e.g., cement making) release carbon dioxide (CO₂) without regard to the source of energy used.

But in the United States, and perhaps in other countries, CCS raises property rights issues that—if left unresolved—could complicate a ramp-up of CCS. For …

State Sequestration: Federal Policy Accelerates Carbon Storage, But Leaves Full Climate, Equity Protections To States, Gabriel Pacyniak

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the UN’s expert science panel—has found that limiting climate change to prevent catastrophic harms will require at least some use of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) unless the world rapidly shifts away from fossil fuels and reduces energy demand. There is significant uncertainty, however, about the level of lifecycle GHG reductions achievable in practice from varying CCS applications; some applications could even lead to net increases in emissions. In addition, a number of these applications create or maintain other harms, especially those related to fossil fuel extraction and use. For these reasons, many environmental justice …

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

The effects of climate change are becoming more and more obvious every year, evidenced by extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increased global temperature.
