The Secret Lives Of Environmental Rights, Sonya Ziaja
The Secret Lives Of Environmental Rights, Sonya Ziaja
Pace Environmental Law Review
Do constitutional environmental rights change hearts and minds? How could they? This Essay describes three possible hypotheses of the relationships among constitutional environmental rights, meaning, and behavior: The Separate Domains Approach, The Constitutive Approach, and The Mutually Constitutive Approach. The theories underlying these hypotheses, and explored in this Essay, may provide some insight into constitutional environmental rights and how they may evolve throughout generations.
State Constitutions In The Woods, Quinn Yeargain
State Constitutions In The Woods, Quinn Yeargain
Pace Environmental Law Review
Before the adoption of environmental rights provisions beginning in the 1970s, most state constitutions did not contain provisions that protected the natural environment from degradation. Instead, to the contrary, many constitutions—especially in western states—contained policies that have long entrenched carbon-intensive infrastructures and have favored extractive industries. But starting in the early 1900s, a handful of states began amending their constitutions to incorporate environmental policy provisions. These additions helped preserve forested lands by giving state governments the power to respond to uncontrolled forest fires and adopt policies to prevent deforestation. Other amendments established fish and game commissions as constitutional entities, safeguarding …
Some Lessons For Crafting A State Constitution-Based Right To A Clean Environment, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson
Some Lessons For Crafting A State Constitution-Based Right To A Clean Environment, Heidi Gorovitz Robertson
Pace Environmental Law Review
While New York most recently added an environmental rights amendment to its constitution, Pennsylvania and Montana have had these amendments in their constitutions since the seventies. Hawaii, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Massachusetts have enacted weaker iterations of rights to a clean environment. Other states, like Maine, have faced challenges that blocked an amendment’s passage. This Article provides an initial analysis of the state environmental rights amendments currently in place, examining their origins, language, placement in the constitutions, and the major judicial decisions impacting their interpretation. It concludes by comparing the existing environmental rights amendments to the proposed amendment that failed …
Indigenizing The Right To A Healthy Environment, Elisabeth Parker, Heather Tanana
Indigenizing The Right To A Healthy Environment, Elisabeth Parker, Heather Tanana
Pace Environmental Law Review
The most severe impacts resulting from environmental degradation are experienced by already-vulnerable populations, including Indigenous peoples. A growing number of countries are formally recognizing the basic human right to a healthy environment, which can help realize environmental and climate justice for these communities. On July 28, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly passed a landmark resolution formally recognizing the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. The adoption of this resolution represents a pivotal moment in the understanding and implementation of a human rights-based approach to protecting the environment. However, it is important to recognize that historically, Indigenous …
Green Amendments, Land Use, And Transportation: What Could Go Wrong?, Michael Lewyn
Green Amendments, Land Use, And Transportation: What Could Go Wrong?, Michael Lewyn
Pace Environmental Law Review
As more states amend their constitutions to include a green amendment, the vague nature of these amendments leaves a concerning amount of interpretative power to courts. This article examines how some courts have interpreted green amendments and how these interpretations risk the misuse of green amendments. Additionally, this article examines how such misuse may be avoided.
The Value Of Constitutional Environmental Rights And Public Trusts, John C. Dernbach
The Value Of Constitutional Environmental Rights And Public Trusts, John C. Dernbach
Pace Environmental Law Review
As part of the modern environmental movement of the 1970s, five states (Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, and Pennsylvania) adopted constitutional amendments recognizing a right to a quality environment, a public trust for public natural resources, or both. Half a century later, there is a renewed interest in constitutional environmental rights, inspired in no small part by the failure of existing laws to adequately address the climate crisis. A sixth state (New York) recognized a constitutional right to a quality environment in 2021, and more than a dozen states are considering such amendments. Still, the great majority of environmental protection at …
130 Years And Counting Into Forever — New York's Forever Wild Constitutional Amendment And Lessons For Modern Green Amendments, Timothy E. Cox
130 Years And Counting Into Forever — New York's Forever Wild Constitutional Amendment And Lessons For Modern Green Amendments, Timothy E. Cox
Pace Environmental Law Review
In the 135 years of New York’s Forever Wild Amendment’s existence, it has been challenged by a range of court cases and thereby interpreted by courts throughout New York. The results of these cases frequently have upheld the heart of Forever Wild: to protect New York’s Forest Preserve land. This Article provides a history of the Forever Wild Amendment, an analysis of the courts’ and New York Attorney General’s interpretations of the Amendment, and a discussion of how this information can guide the future of New York’s Green Amendment.

Administering Environmental Justice: How New York’S Environmental Rights Amendment Could Transform Business As Usual, Rebecca Bratspies
Pace Environmental Law Review
Since New York became the latest state to pass an environmental rights amendment, there has been a great deal of analysis regarding how the judi- ciary will interpret the Green Amendment; however, state and local officials need not wait for the courts to enforce the Green Amendment. This Article explores the authority state and local officials have to carry out the purpose of the Green Amendment. Additionally, it discusses what the passage of the Green Amendment means in practice and how, and why, state officials such as the Attorney General should implement the Green Amendment.

A Bill Of Thirst: How Congress Can Support Interstate Water Markets, Jakob Haws
A Bill Of Thirst: How Congress Can Support Interstate Water Markets, Jakob Haws
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
Addressing modern-day water scarcity will likely require legal mechanisms to facilitate efficient water transfers between states. One such mechanism is a water market. Water markets promote more efficient water consumption and abound within states, but generally do not exist between states. This absence stems from protectionist state laws and from interstate water compact provisions which govern and allocate shared water sources. While useful in many regards, interstate water compacts often impose unnecessary legal obstacles against innovative drought-mitigating measures—including interstate water markets. The most serious of these obstacles is the fact that states cannot revise interstate water compacts without (1) obtaining …

Defrosting Regulatory Chill, Guillermo J. Garcia Sanchez

In Homer’s Odyssey, King Odysseus asked his men to tie him to the mast of his ship with the hope that he would not jump into the sea after listening to the Sirens. The Odyssey’s hero made a pact to bind himself in the future. He knew that the temptation would be impossible to resist without restraints. Similarly, the creators and advocates of international investment agreements believe that providing rights to foreign investors through international treaties will chill State policies that would harm the interests of investors in the future. The “rope” to tie the State is the threat of …

Arbitrase Internasional Dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Penanaman Modal Asing: Tinjauan Praktis Di Indonesia, Fanny Aprilia
Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan
Indonesia has demonstrated a strong commitment to international arbitration by participating in various international conventions, such as the 1958 New York Convention, and by implementing supportive domestic legislation, such as Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. International arbitration offers advantages such as neutrality, specialized expertise, and legal certainty, making it a preferred mechanism for resolving foreign investment disputes. However, the implementation of arbitration in Indonesia still faces several challenges, including a lack of understanding of arbitration procedures among court officials and concerns about potential domestic court interference in the arbitration process. This paper highlights the …

U'Wa Indigenous People Vs. Columbia: Potential Applications Of The Escazu Agreement, Ariana Lippi
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Though the case is ongoing, and results are still to be seen, it in many ways sets a precedent for indigenous communities in Latin America seeking redress for environmental and cultural injustices. With Colombia’s recent ratification of The Escazú Regional Agreement (the Agreement herein) in 2022, this case presents a unique opportunity for implementation of the Agreement and greater accountability within existing domestic legislation.

This paper analyses the governance machine in place at the Arctic and examines the application of the principles of “common heritage of mankind” at the Arctic. This paper also offers some tentative propositions aimed at protecting Out Bound investment rights and how the World Trade Organization or other countries, like the U.S., can intercede in the Arctic investment sphere and attempt to regulate along with the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea.

Sustainable Development Law & Policy
The disparate climate performances of Finland and the United States, two of the wealthiest countries in the world, bring to light the question of how corporate responsibility has been inspired in each jurisdiction. Having established the urgency of the climate crisis and the importance of corporate behavior in optimizing a given country’s approach to protection of the global environment, an examination of each nation’s legal frameworks may shed light on features of the corporate regime that are effective in advancing sustainability goals and those that are not.22 Part I of this paper establishes a comparative framework by providing background on …
