LAW 7347 - Environmental Enforcement in the Climate Era


Credits: 3

Examines the theories and processes that underpin our current system of enforcing environmental laws. Explores the historical social and environmental justice movements and political theories from which this system of modern regulatory enforcement arose, and track these modes of enforcement into the climate era. Uses material from law, natural and social sciences, literature, and activists to interrogate the ways in which regulatory enforcement mechanisms are being employed to respond to related contemporary environmental, economic, and social problems including climate change, industrial pollution, resource use and land management, economic dispossession, and changing patterns in environmental health. Explores the limits of enforcement and how non-regulatory legal tools are being used to fill gaps in our responses.
