Intergenerational Justice, Environmental Law, And Restorative Justice, Chaitanya Motupalli 2018 University of Washington School of Law

Intergenerational Justice, Environmental Law, And Restorative Justice, Chaitanya Motupalli

Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy

Global climate change is well underway and its impacts are reaching far into the future. As these impacts progress, they present core questions of intergenerational justice. What does justice require of the current generation in tackling climate change to safeguard the wellbeing of future generations? How is the current generation to achieve a just relationship with those to come in light of the atrocious violations represented by global climate change? Taking the Juliana v. United States lawsuit as an example, I argue that we are not equipped to address the current climate crisis using existing environmental law, and therefore our …

Implementing The Ahafo Benefit Agreements: Seeking Meaningful Community Participation At Newmont’S Ahafo Gold Mine In Ghana, Benjamin Boakye, Maggie M. Cascadden, Jordan Kuschminder, Sam Szoke-Burke, Eric Werker 2018 Africa Centre for Energy Policy

Implementing The Ahafo Benefit Agreements: Seeking Meaningful Community Participation At Newmont’S Ahafo Gold Mine In Ghana, Benjamin Boakye, Maggie M. Cascadden, Jordan Kuschminder, Sam Szoke-Burke, Eric Werker

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

In 2008, ten communities in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana entered into agreements with Newmont Ghana to govern company-community relations, ensure local job creation, and share the benefits of the company’s mining operations. Ten years later, this report, co-authored by Canadian International Resources and Development Institute (CIRDI), African Center for Energy Policy (ACEP), CCSI, and ISP, looks at the communities’ experience of those agreements and suggests how the agreements might be improved. Though the agreements were celebrated for their attempts to include all stakeholders in decision-making, challenges remain around representation, consultation, and participation. New entities established to facilitate multi-stakeholder …


Environmental Law, Travis M. Trimble 2018 Mercer University School of Law

Environmental Law, Travis M. Trimble

Mercer Law Review

In 2017, district courts decided several issues that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit had never addressed. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia concluded that the Clean Water Act's (CWA) prohibition on the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States without a permit extended to discharges into groundwater with a "direct hydrological connection" to surface waters within the Act's scope. The court also concluded that a state-permitted land application system, whereby wastewater is sprayed onto fields as means of treatment and disposal, constituted a "point source" within the meaning …


Supreme Court Shifts Supremacy Doctrine—Preempting State Sustainability?, Steven Ferrey 2018 Suffolk University Law School

Supreme Court Shifts Supremacy Doctrine—Preempting State Sustainability?, Steven Ferrey

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

The Supreme Court recently applied the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution to sustainable energy technology. Three recent decisions of the Supreme Court, as well as subsequent decisions of the federal circuit courts and a federal adjudicatory commission, reconfigured the constitutional doctrine preempting state regulation of sustainable power. Through these three decisions, the Court reduced Chevron deference afforded to regulatory agencies, a venerated legal doctrine.


Can Clean Energy Policy Promote Environmental, Economic, And Social Sustainability?, Felix Mormann 2018 Texas A&M University School of Law

Can Clean Energy Policy Promote Environmental, Economic, And Social Sustainability?, Felix Mormann

Faculty Scholarship

Two and a half decades of clean energy policymaking focused primarily on environmental and economic sustainability have yielded considerable environmental and economic benefits. Along the way, however, other policy considerations, such as the social sustainability of the transition to a cleaner, renewably fueled energy economy, have gone largely overlooked. As clean energy technologies continue to gain ever-greater traction in the United States and global energy economies, the social impacts of their enabling policies become more and more salient. Already, ratepayers, taxpayers, and other stakeholders who fear being left behind by the clean energy transition question the “fairness” of today’s renewable …


Pengelolaan Lingkungan Melalui Izin Terintegrasi Dan Berantai: Sebuah Perbandingan Atas Perizinan Lingkungan Di Berbagai Negara, Muhammad Andri Gunawan Wibisana 2018 Faculty of Law Universitas Indonesia

Pengelolaan Lingkungan Melalui Izin Terintegrasi Dan Berantai: Sebuah Perbandingan Atas Perizinan Lingkungan Di Berbagai Negara, Muhammad Andri Gunawan Wibisana

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Environmental permit is considered to play a central role in environmental management. There has been a growing intention in Indonesia for an integrated permit system, either in terms of internal integration, in which all environmental permits are integrated into a single permit, or external integration, in which environmental permits are integrated with business/activity license. This paper attemps to answer the questions of whether both ways of integrating environmental permits have been implemented in Indonesia. The paper also observes that although some contries have integrated various permits into a single environmental permit, the link between environmental permit and business/activity license remains …


Regulatory Methodology And Unmitigated Wetland Loss In Southwest Florida, Kathleen B. Castor 2018 University of South Florida

Regulatory Methodology And Unmitigated Wetland Loss In Southwest Florida, Kathleen B. Castor

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research used Geographical Information System (GIS) data to estimate the acreage of wetland loss due to small-scale activities (taking into account exempt, permitted, and unauthorized activities) in the Southwest District of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) between 2006 and 2011 and compared that net loss with the unmitigated wetland net loss that DEP documented during that time for authorized activities and violations that were discovered. The comparison allowed an estimation of the extent of undocumented small-scale unmitigated wetland loss that occurred during those six years. DEP records show that 88% of non-compliance cases remain unresolved, and the net …
