Assembling An Experimentalist Regime: Transnational Governance Interactions In The Forest Sector, Christine Overdevest, Jonathan Zeitlin 2012 The Peter A. Allard School of Law

Assembling An Experimentalist Regime: Transnational Governance Interactions In The Forest Sector, Christine Overdevest, Jonathan Zeitlin

Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers

Transnational governance initiatives increasingly face the problem of regime complexity in which a proliferation of regulatory schemes operate in the same policy domain, supported by varying combinations of public and private actors. The literature suggests that such regime complexity can lead to forum-shopping and other self-interested strategies which undermine the effectiveness of transnational regulation. Based on the design principles of experimentalist governance, this paper identifies a variety of pathways and mechanisms which promote productive interactions in regime complexes. We use the case of the EU's Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) initiative, interacting with private certification schemes and public …

Energy Efficiency As Fundamental To The Missions Of U.S. Religious Congregations, Health Care Providers And Schools, Warren G. Lavey 2012 Washington and Lee University School of Law

Energy Efficiency As Fundamental To The Missions Of U.S. Religious Congregations, Health Care Providers And Schools, Warren G. Lavey

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

Increased energy efficiency confers many economic, environmental, and public health benefits but is handicapped in the United States by energy prices which fail to reflect damaging emissions from most energy production. Under market prices, standard lifecycle financial analysis of potential investments leads businesses and households to improve their energy efficiency in many ways. However, pursuing environmental sustainability and enhanced public health requires heightened awareness, stronger incentives, and more actions. Many religious congregations, health care providers, and schools recognize that improving energy efficiency and reducing related emissions serve their missions. Many organizations in these mission-driven sectors have undertaken far-reaching commitments to …


Assessing Moral Claims In International Climate Change Negotiations, Yoram Margalioth 2012 Washington and Lee University School of Law

Assessing Moral Claims In International Climate Change Negotiations, Yoram Margalioth

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

The paper explains the importance of narrowing the gap between developed and developing countries’ perceptions of justice in the climate change context and analyzes the two main ethical claims raised by the developing countries, exposing their major weaknesses and strengths. It then offers the adoption of harmonized carbon taxes and the rejection of Kyoto’s cap-and-trade mitigation scheme, as a way to avoid inevitably unresolved ethical issues.


Integrating Community Knowledge Into Environmental And Natural Resource Decision-Making: Notes From Alaska And Around The World, Elizabeth Barrett Ristroph 2012 Washington and Lee University School of Law

Integrating Community Knowledge Into Environmental And Natural Resource Decision-Making: Notes From Alaska And Around The World, Elizabeth Barrett Ristroph

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

Community knowledge (including traditional, local, and indigenous knowledge) has a role to play in government agency decisions regarding the environment and natural resources. This article considers the benefits of using community knowledge, as well as obstacles to collecting this knowledge and integrating it with Western science. The article further discusses how federal agencies in Alaska use community knowledge and laws that potentially affect this use (including the Data Quality Act). Finally, the article provides recommendations for agencies to consider in collecting and using community knowledge.

Chevron, Greenwashing, And The Myth Of “Green Oil Companies”, Miriam A. Cherry, Judd F. Sneirson 2012 Washington and Lee University School of Law

Chevron, Greenwashing, And The Myth Of “Green Oil Companies”, Miriam A. Cherry, Judd F. Sneirson

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

As green business practices grow in popularity, so does the temptation to “greenwash” one’s business to appear more environmentally and socially responsible than it actually is. We examined this phenomenon in an earlier paper, using BP and the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe as a case study and developing a framework for policing dubious claims of corporate social responsibility. This Article revisits these issues focusing on Chevron, an oil company that claims in its advertisements to care deeply about the environment and the communities in which it operates, even as it faces an $18 billion judgment for polluting the Ecuadorean Amazon and …
