Free Lunch Or Cheap Fix?: The Emissions Trading Idea And The Climate Change Convention, David M. Driesen Jan 1998

Free Lunch Or Cheap Fix?: The Emissions Trading Idea And The Climate Change Convention, David M. Driesen

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

Emissions trading has become a key component of U.S. environmental legal regimes. The U.S. has successfully lobbied to make international environmental benefit trading, an expanded form of emissions trading, a part of international efforts to address the threat of global climate change through the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol to that Convention. Legal scholars have lauded emissions trading as a "free lunch" that will encourage innovation, enhance democratic accountability, and reduce the cost of environmental cleanup. This article argues that emissions trading functions as a cheap fix, reducing short-term costs while tending to lessen innovation and …

Chevron Doctrine In Federal Indian Law And The Agencies' Duty To Interpret Legislation In Favor Of Indians: Did The Epa Reconcile The Two In Interpreting The Tribes As States Section Of The Clean Water Act?, Alex Tallchief Skibine Jan 1998

Chevron Doctrine In Federal Indian Law And The Agencies' Duty To Interpret Legislation In Favor Of Indians: Did The Epa Reconcile The Two In Interpreting The Tribes As States Section Of The Clean Water Act?, Alex Tallchief Skibine

St. Thomas Law Review

Part II of the Article discusses whether there is an ambiguity in the CWA, and if so, whether the EPA should be given Chevron deference in its interpretation of the Act. After concluding that there is an ambiguity in the statute and that Chevron is applicable, this Article discusses what role, in the Chevron inquiry, should be played by the rule of statutory construction mandating that federal statutes enacted for the benefit of Indians be construed liberally with ambiguities resolved in their favor. This rule will be referred to as the Indian liberal construction rule. This Article takes the position …

The Goals Of Environmental Enforcement And The Range Of Enforcement Methods In Israel And In The United States, Marcia R. Gelpe Jan 1998

The Goals Of Environmental Enforcement And The Range Of Enforcement Methods In Israel And In The United States, Marcia R. Gelpe

Faculty Scholarship

The article examines enforcement of the environmental laws of Israel and of the United States. It concentrates on provisions for enforcement of the laws by government authorities--that is, either by administrative authorities or by the courts at the request of an administrative authority. Environmental laws in many jurisdictions may also be enforced by private actions. These private enforcement actions are not addressed specifically in this article, although much of what is said is also applicable to such actions.

England's Contaminated Land Act Of 1995: Perspectives On America's Approach To Hazardous Substance Cleanups And Evolving Principles Of International Law, Michael P. Healy

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

An important contemporary problem in environmental regulation concerns the cleanup of property that is an unfortunate legacy of the modem industrial age—acres of land affected by past inadequate disposals of toxic substances. The United States began to address this problem in 1980 with the enactment of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA establishes both a liability regime for assigning the costs of cleaning up lands contaminated by the release of hazardous substances and regulatory requirements defining how those cleanups are to be pursued. In 1995, England enacted the Contaminated Land Act (alternatively referred to as the …

CAO Creation Pre-1999

Prompted by public concern about alleged non-compliance with policies of the Bank Group, and project-specific controversies (such as the Pangue Dam on Chile's BioBio river), the President and top management of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the two private sector arms of the World Bank Group, have announced their intention to create a review mechanism patterned after the existing World Bank Inspection Panel (which only applies to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA)). Mr. Wolfensohn, in particular, has supported the extension of the Panel as …
