We know that the political branches and courts often impose constraints on agency experts in ways that are likely to compromise the agencies’ ability to fulfill their statutory assignments. But we have little understanding of how many constraints there are, how they operate, or how to think of them more generally. In our contribution to this Special Issue, we spotlight the importance of this topic for regulatory studies in the USA and abroad by mapping out the multi-faceted ways that agencies in the USA are constrained from carrying out their delegated assignments. We discover numerous and consequential constraints that are both invisible and undermine the agencies’ ability to carry out their statutory mandates.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46650659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by relying on case studies to present LENs as a model that can be successfully used to create, and then manage, the market for ecosystem services provided by multi-functional landscapes. LENs can, for example, be used to address diffuse water pollution and to establish landscape-scale biodiversity and pollution ‘offsets’ through the creation of new wetlands or large-scale rewilding initiatives. The analysis presented here concludes that LENs offers an imaginative and valuable tool for landscape-level environmental management but that changes will be needed in the legal framework for property rights and development planning if it is to fulfill its considerable potential. The governance arrangements for functioning LENs will also need refinement to introduce greater transparency, strategic direction and accountability to their future development.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134977409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These seven tips are forms of practical advice, which also raise questions about how legal scholarship is understood. These tips are based on the experience of editing the Journal of Environmental Law between 2012 and 2022. The seven tips are: producing legal scholarship takes time; don't get distracted from focusing on quality; read widely; know what you are trying to produce; fidelity to material matters; cherish refereeing and revision; and recognise the value of scholarly communities.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135102157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these tempestuous times, where environmental democracy faces unprecedented challenges, the Convention stands firmly as a beacon of hope to deliver better outcomes for the environment and to protect human rights. This short commentary identifies new significant developments within the Aarhus framework concerning the protection of environmental defenders, the impact of the pandemic and the application of the Convention during armed conflict. It also reflects briefly on the more general issue of implementation.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135250692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In each of these cases, directive principles, that is, constitutionally entrenched state obligations to protect social values, generally by enacting legislation, played a key role in judicial decisions regarding climate change mitigation. We engage with Lael K. Weis’s analytical framework on directive principles to clarify the allocation of institutional responsibility for climate change mitigation as applied in these three cases, and argue that clarifying these roles alleviates some of the criticism regarding the democratic legitimacy of judicial decision making on climate change. Importantly, while courts do not directly enforce these types of constitutional directive principles, they must adjudicate them. When courts interpret constitutionally mandated legislation in light of directive principles, they develop new constitutional environmental norms. While most scholarly analysis of environmental constitutionalism has focused on environmental rights, our examination confirms Weis’s thesis that directive principles aimed at legislatures are also important forms of environmental constitutionalism, and deserving of further attention.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135788526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For nearly 30 years thereafter, Congress remained gridlocked and unable to pass significant climate change legislation. During that time, the executive branch was the main forum for the development of federal climate policy, forcing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to creatively reinterpret 1970s legislation to deal with climate change. The situation changed in two crucial ways in 2022: The Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA reined in EPA’s authority, and Congress finally enacted major climate legislation in the form of a multi-billion dollar tax and spending bill. These two events will shape the future of US climate efforts.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135898229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OEP is more than a watchdog body and has important functions in advising government on proposed new environmental law, reporting to Parliament on progress in meeting statutory targets and reviewing the implementation of environmental law. Its enforcement role relates to the environmental duties of government and public bodies. The procedures are a specialised form of judicial review but are designed to secure a constructive settlement before reaching court.

That universal truism applies as much to us, as scholars, as it does to us as world-citizens. Recognising that environmental harm is increasingly impacting lived experiences, this commentary both argues that we should not only reflect consciously on how this might affect our scholarship, but that we should proactively take steps to improve our mental health and self-care. Written collaboratively by an environmental lawyer and research clinical psychologists, the commentary concludes that acceptance of the challenges confronting us, and that it is all right to be anxious about them in our own lives, will not necessarily make our scholarship any better but it might allow us to avoid unhelpful, artificial, and potentially painful deep-seated, divisions within ourselves.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42982731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The report relied on the use of GGRs in all models suggesting how to comply with the Paris Agreement’s temperature targets. The EU has adopted specific legislation to address one of the more technologically mature GGR methodologies—biochar—and its waste status dilemma. Here, biochar is analysed in more detail, focusing on the EU waste regime and the potential absolution of biochar from EU’s waste obligations. Additionally, the recently enacted Fertilising Products Regulation (EU/2019/1009) is investigated, and its approach to label biochar a fertilising product. Ultimately, this study identifies regulatory inconsistencies and shortfalls of EU law as pertains to biochar’s waste status, and recognises the need to establish a more comprehensive regulatory treatment of biochar that acknowledges its multifaceted nature, including helping the EU, and its member states to reach net zero.","PeriodicalId":46437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47955185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
