 | Resolving the Paradoxes of
Discounting in Environmental Decisions (PDF)
Transnational Law & Contemporary Problems (TLCP Website)
Joseph H. Guth, J.D., Ph.D.
SEHN Legal Director Joe Guth argues in "Resolving the Paradoxes of Discounting in Environmental Decisions" that "discounting" holds the key to understanding why our economic and legal systems are having such a difficult time controlling mounting, long-term environmental degradation. We must build a new environmental law that does not rely on cost-benefit analysis or discounting, and is designed instead to maintain the ecological integrity of the earth. |
 | An Environmental Right for Future Generations
A new SEHN publication, Models for Protecting the Environment for Future Generations (PDF Report), describes how ombudsmen, guardians, and other legal instruments could help guarantee a habitable planet for future humans. An accompanying document, Model State Constitutional Provisions & Model Statute (PDF Report), provides actual blueprint laws that states and tribes can use to implement these instruments and fulfill the ethical mandate to guarantee a livable world for future generations.
