 | Law for the Ecological Age
Now available! SEHN Legal Director Joe Guth lays out the case for "Law for the Ecological Age" in the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law.
American property law is currently designed to prioritize economic activity, even when it causes environmental damage, on the presumption that it provides a net social benefit. We see now that the cumulative effect of that damage is running up against the ecological limits of the Earth. SEHN proposes a new rule of the common law, the tort of “ecological degradation,” as a model new law for the ecological age. |
