Climate Change Law

Syllabus Bank

Climate Change Law is an evolving discipline. There is no canon of climate change law. This course has three parts. In the first part, we will at the basic science of climate change and how to mitigate it. In the second, we will look at the law of climate change mitigation, including the Paris Agreement and other international agreements. The third part is a practical look at helping clients plan for the impacts of climate change. Being in Louisiana, we will take a hard look at flooding, flood insurance, and flood-related litigation. Following our hurricane theme we will look at wind (homeowner’s) insurance and the crisis in affordable insurance in Louisiana and Florida. We will also look at the water shortages in the West and how they stem more from the water rights regimes than from the drought. At the end of the course, you should be better able to tell fact from fiction in climate reporting and you should be able to help yourself and your clients make better decisions about the legal and financial risks posed by extreme weather events.
