Implications Of The Copenhagen Accord For Global Climate Governance, David B. Hunter 2010 American University Washington College of Law

Implications Of The Copenhagen Accord For Global Climate Governance, David B. Hunter

Sustainable Development Law & Policy

Climate advocates are increasingly raising specific climate change concerns before domestic courts, human rights tribunals, international commissions and other national and international decisionmaking bodies. Win or lose, these litigation strategies are significantly changing and enhancing the public dialogue around climate change. This article discusses the awareness-building impacts of climate litigation as well as related impacts such strategies may have on the development of climate law and policy.

It has also shifted the …

Climate Change Law In And Over Time, Richard J. Lazarus 2010 University of San Diego

Climate Change Law In And Over Time, Richard J. Lazarus

San Diego Journal of Climate & Energy Law

The critical lesson for climate change legislation is that the pending lawmaking moment must include the enactment of provisions specifically designed to maintain the legislation’s ability to achieve its long-term objectives over the longer term. For climate change legislation to be successful, the new legal framework must simultaneously be flexible in certain respects and steadfast in others. Flexibility is necessary to allow for the modification of legal requirements over time in light of new information. Steadfastness or “stickiness” is important to maintain the stability of a law’s requirements over time. The need for both is particularly great for climate change …

An Ill Wind: Air Pollution In The Pearl River Delta, Caitlin Morray 2010 University of Washington School of Law

An Ill Wind: Air Pollution In The Pearl River Delta, Caitlin Morray

Washington International Law Journal

Marine transport is an efficient and cost-effective way to transport goods around the world; at least ninety percent of all global trade is served by the shipping industry and shipping trade is expected to triple in the next two decades. However, because of the poor quality of the fuel used by the shipping industry, ocean-going ships disproportionately impact the environment and human health. The shipping industry is presently estimated to generate almost thirty percent of the world’s smog-forming nitrogen oxide emissions and nearly ten percent of sulfur dioxide emissions that cause acid rain and deadly fine particles. The Pearl River …
