CLIMATE RIGHTS IN BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES : A CONVERGENCE IN CONTRASTS.
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law. Spring2024, Vol. 56 Issue 1/2, p439-467. 29p.
The article focuses on the potential of "climate rights" lawsuits to address climate pollution in the U.S . and Brazil, despite differences in legal systems. It compares the recognition and implementation of climate rights in both countries, highlighting differences in legal structures and traditions, and concludes that courts can play a significant role in addressing and remedying climate change by directing governments to enact and implement effective policies.

CRIMES AGAINST THE ENVIRONMENT, ECOCIDE, AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law. Spring2024, Vol. 56 Issue 1/2, p223-237. 15p.
The article focuses on the concept of ecocide, likened to genocide but targeting the environment, advocated by global leaders like Pope Francis and French President Emmanuel Macron. Topics include the development of ecocide as a fifth crime before the International Criminal Court, the efforts of Stop Ecocide International, and the discussion of prosecuting ecocide and other environmental crimes in the context of the Ukraine war.

ECOCIDE IN WAR AND PEACE: FROM THE AIR POLLUTION CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE TO JAPAN'S DISPOSAL OF FUKUSHIMA WATER INTO THE OCEAN.
Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law. Spring2024, Vol. 56 Issue 1/2, p239-270. 32p.
This Article will propose and analyze potentially prosecutable cases of alleged global ecocide and propose targeted amendments to Articles 36(3) and (5) of the ICC Rome Statute. These proposed amendments may serve as a blueprint to procedurally ensure environmental expertise at the international judicial level. Ecocide is unfortunately not currently recognized under the Rome Statute. However, certain scholars have suggested defining it as a fifth international crime. This analysis identifies environmental crises, international criminal law expectations and examines the environmental pollution caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Japanese government's decision to dispose of radioactive treated water from the wrecked Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear site as examples. These templates vindicate the Article's recommendation of a need for a Special Prosecutor for Ecocide, recognizing the ICC as the proper court for ecocide prosecution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CHARTING A COURSE TO CONSERVE 30% OF FRESHWATERS BY 2030.
William & Mary Law Review. Oct2022, Vol. 64 Issue 1, p169-227. 59p.
One of President Biden's earliest executive orders established an ambitious national goal to conserve at least 30 percent of U.S . lands, waters, and oceans by 2030. The Biden administration is not alone; over 100 countries support this goal as a means of combating climate change and slowing the pace of species extinction, both of which are accelerating at a rate that is unprecedented in history. Despite its vow to pursue a wide-sweeping, all-of-government approach, Biden's 30 by 30 initiative overlooks a critical component of the conservation goal--it pays virtually no attention to freshwater. Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered in the world due to diminished streamflows, pollution, wetlands destruction, nonnative species' invasions, and hydrological modifications. Yet in the United States , there are extreme institutional barriers to holistic watershed management. Complexity, controversy, and conflict arise from fragmentation and long-entrenched interests, making reforms especially difficult. This Article explores federal freshwater conservation law, along with a handful of potential reforms that could advance the 30 by 30 objective without requiring statutory revisions. It covers provisions of existing federal laws that protect the quality, quantity, and integrity of freshwater ecosystems, specifically the Clean Water Act, the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, federal hydropower, reclamation, and flood control statutes, and the Endangered Species Act. It also identifies ways these laws could be implemented more effectively to conserve 30 percent of the nation's freshwater resources by 2030, focusing primarily on the agencies' ability to utilize statutory planning requirements to promote biodiversity and climate resilience.

The article discusses the advancement of environmental quality and sustainability in protected areas located in dense urban areas. The authors note that one of the most critical transformations having profound impacts on land use is urbanization, adding that urban areas are vital in furthering environmental awareness, employment provision, and recreation of urban populations. Topics include an overview of the evolution of conservation approaches, specifically the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Program , the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR), and an assessment of an experimental laboratory of citizenship and sustainability practices, called the São Paulo City Greenbelt BR (GBBR) in Brazil.
