The Ocean Climate Action Plan: Building the Blue Economy for the 21st Century
October 21, 2020
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
Online
Dr. Scorce will discuss key projects that he is working on in food systems and ocean and coastal policy and why the International Environmental Policy (IEP) program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterrey (MIIS) is unique.
This event is intended to educate the state’s legal and policy communities and the public on local climate impacts and associated costs now facing communities and taxpayers, and to initiate a dialogue on the growing trend of climate damages litigation in the U.S. Panelists will discuss the extent of climate harms in New Jersey as well as the scientific basis for holding the fossil fuel industry accountable for them. Panelists will also offer legal and community perspectives on damages litigation as a means to shift some of the burden from taxpayers to polluters.
Panel members will include Bob Kopp, director of the Rutgers University Institute of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences; Brenda Ekwurzel, director of climate science with the Union of Concerned Scientists Climate & Energy Program; and Jonathan Abady, a partner with Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLP. The discussion will be moderated by Monmouth University Rechnitz Family/Urban Coast Institute Endowed Chair in Marine and Environmental Law and Policy Randall Abate. The names of additional speakers will soon follow.
The event will take place from 3:30-5:15 p.m. at the Wilson Hall Auditorium. A free reception will follow. For more information, contact Aliya Satku at asatku@monmouth.edu or (732) 263-5662.
