The African Century: Renewable Energy Opportunities In Sub-Saharan Africa, Joshua Mackinnon
The African Century: Renewable Energy Opportunities In Sub-Saharan Africa, Joshua Mackinnon
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Even if the world’s developed nations are able to curb their carbon emissions in the coming years, major hurdles will still exist. One such hurdle is fulfilling energy needs in urbanizing areas, like sub-Saharan Africa. Many global regions are urbanizing but none as rapidly as sub- Saharan Africa. The global share of Africa’s urban residents is expected to grow from 11.3% in 2010 to 20.2% by 2050.

While sub-Saharan African countries have peculiar social and economic characteristics, there are common elements that allow this Note to focus on the region as a whole. This general approach can be adjusted …

American climate law is the subject of serious and ongoing debate, and policy change is part of the ordinary process of democratic governance. However, in recent years some policymakers have deliberately undermined climate action by injecting legal instability into American climate law.

From Exploitation To Equity: Building Native-Owned Renewable Energy Generation In Indian Country, Michael Maruca
From Exploitation To Equity: Building Native-Owned Renewable Energy Generation In Indian Country, Michael Maruca
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
Indian country contains abundant renewable energy resources, and harnessing such resources is vitally important for national climate change mitigation efforts. Shifting the electric grid towards wind and solar generation also carries local environmental and health benefits, increases energy independence, and serves national security interests. For willing tribes, renewable energy development offers an opportunity for job growth and income base expansion. But if that development is to serve all parties— tribes, states, and the nation—then the current policy framework must change. If it does not change, policymakers risk continuing the long history of exploitative resource development on reservations.
