Vertical Farming: A Bottom-Up Approach, Michael Martinez 2023 Seattle University School of Law

Vertical Farming: A Bottom-Up Approach, Michael Martinez

Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, & Innovation Law

The twenty-first century will require innovative solutions to address the effects of climate change. Vertical farming is one solution that could help conserve a significant amount of freshwater and reduce the agricultural industry’ s overuse of pesticides and intensive tilling practices, which contributes to soil erosion and pesticide runoff. There has been significant investment in vertical farming in every region of the United States; however, the cost to produce foods with vertical farming remains more costly than traditional farming, which is in large part due to the substantial amount of electricity needed to power all the technology required to grow …


“A Solemn Mockery”: Why Texas’S Senate Bill 8 Cannot Be Legitimized Through Comparisons To Qui Tam And Environmental Protection Statutes, Laura Blockman 2023 University of Miami School of Law

“A Solemn Mockery”: Why Texas’S Senate Bill 8 Cannot Be Legitimized Through Comparisons To Qui Tam And Environmental Protection Statutes, Laura Blockman

University of Miami Law Review

On September 1, 2021, the Texas Legislature enacted the Texas Heartbeat Act, an anti-abortion statute popularly known as Senate Bill 8 (“S.B. 8”). Although many states passed anti-abortion legislation in 2021, S.B. 8 received national attention due to the law’s unusual enforcement mechanism: S.B. 8 empowers private citizens, not state actors, to sue individuals who perform or aid in the performance of an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

Unsurprisingly, the authors of S.B. 8 received extreme back- lash from the public, and many academics and legal scholars viewed the law’s private enforcement mechanism as an effort to evade …

This objective is pursued through three consecutive analyses: theory, international law, and State practice. The Dissertation clarifies the concept of ecosystem approach to aquaculture through a critical analysis of the technical guidelines on ecosystem approach to aquaculture developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Building on the broader scholarship on ecosystems and the law, it develops a …

Transferred Emissions Are Still Emissions: Why Fossil Fuel Asset Sales Need Enhanced Transparency And Carbon Accounting, Jack Arnold, Martin Lockman, Perrine Toledano, Martin Dietrich Brauch, Shraman Sen, Michael Burger

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment

In a widely reported trend, the “Oil Supermajors” — BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies — are selling off many upstream fossil fuel assets.

Selling these assets to entities that will continue producing and selling the fossil fuel resources does not necessarily reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the supermajors have used these asset sales to support claims that they are making progress toward reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Emissions reporting frameworks allow companies to conflate the apparent emissions reductions from asset sales with direct reductions from efficiency improvements and asset retirements. In doing so, they hinder the ability …


Voices Of The River: The Rise Of Indigenous Women Leaders In The Colorado River Basin, Heather Tanana 2023 University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law

Voices Of The River: The Rise Of Indigenous Women Leaders In The Colorado River Basin, Heather Tanana

Colorado Environmental Law Journal

Climate change is one of the leading challenges facing tribes today. Traditionally, Indigenous women played significant roles in tribal decisionmaking and governance. However, European contact and colonization shifted gender dynamics, imposing male-dominated leadership. Recently, Native American women are reclaiming leadership positions-formally within tribal government, as well as informally in prominent community roles. These women are poised to lead the way in protecting their communities against climate change impacts, but support is critical to sustaining pathways to leadership. This article discusses the disproportionate impacts of climate change on tribes and highlights the rise ofIndigenous female leadership within the Colorado River Basin …
