ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE AND THE PURSUIT OF A POST-CARBON WORLD: THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT AS A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT |
82 Brooklyn Law Review 529 (Winter, 2017) |
The combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and, to a lesser extent, changes in land cover, have led to a rise in greenhouse gasses (GHG) in the atmosphere and an increase in global average surface temperatures.

2017 Michigan State Law Review 371 (2017) |
Indian Tribes are at the tip of the spear when it comes to climate change.

As climate change makes their land less suitable for the animals and plants they depend on,... |

Land acquisition by foreign countries and corporations has increased since the 2008 economic crisis. If land grabs continue at the current pace and with the same disregard to local host country populations, the food security of host countries will be put at great risk.

Access to utility services is a crucial part of a person's ability to live and make a home in a particular place. For those who are denied service by the local agency or company that provides public utilities--like electricity and water--there are very few ways to achieve a decent and dignified life in that locality.
