Description
On behalf of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources (EENR) Center at the University of Houston Law Center, We are delighted to announce the forthcoming event we’ll host in the frame of our virtual lecture series on Energy Transition and Climate Governance.
This chapter first sketches the contours of precommitment strategies by identifying examples of precommitment strategies in existing climate change law and contrasting them with other approaches for advancing justice that are not binding, automatic, and early, and thus would not be considered precommitments. It then contemplates whether and why binding, automatic, and early precommitments to justice may be an important strategy to advance justice goals in anticipation of and at high levels of warming. It concludes by analyzing the use of precommitments to justice in the context of the expedited siting and construction of renewable energy infrastructure.
