Abstract

Abstract Climate change is a global problem resulting from our aggregate emissions. The United States has failed to take significant action on a federal level to address our country’s contributions. There are options available at the state and local levels to reduce emissions and to prepare for the effects of climate change. However, the commerce clause and the doctrine of federal supremacy may bar states and municipalities from adopting those strategies. This article discusses tactics to circumvent those restrictions, and potential changes to commerce clause jurisprudence that would give states and municipalities greater flexibility to act where Congress has not.

《气候变化符合商业条款:州和地方应对气候变化的障碍与选择》
气候变化是一个全球性问题,是由我们的总排放量造成的。美国未能在联邦层面采取重大行动来解决我国的捐款问题。在州和地方两级都有减少排放和为气候变化的影响做好准备的选择。然而,商业条款和联邦至上原则可能会禁止各州和市政当局采取这些策略。本文讨论了规避这些限制的策略,以及商业条款判例的潜在变化,这些变化将赋予各州和市政当局更大的灵活性,以采取国会没有的行动。

期刊介绍: The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
