Since its creation in 2009, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law has been known as a center of expertise, providing timely information and resources on key topics and promoting advances in the interrelated fields of climate law, environmental regulation, energy regulation and natural resources law. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities are spearheaded by Michael Gerrard, Faculty Director of the Sabin Center and Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice at Columbia Law School, and Michael Burger, Executive Director of the Sabin Center and Research Scholar and Lecturer-in-Law at Columbia Law School. The core mission of the Sabin Center is to develop and promulgate legal techniques to address climate change, and to train the next generation of lawyers who will be leaders in the field. The Sabin Center is both a partner to and resource for public interest legal institutions engaged in climate change work. Further, the Center addresses a critical need for the systematic development of legal techniques to fight climate change outside of the realm of litigation, and the compilation and dissemination of information for lawyers in the public, private, academic and NGO sectors.

A Summary of the Key Activities of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

Summary The Sabin Center currently focuses its work within nine programmatic areas: The Clean Air Act, Environmental Assessment, Energy Law, Adaptation, Securities and Climate Finance, Natural Resources, Human Rights, International and Foreign Law, and Threatened Island Nations. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought leadership and direct engagement operate at the international, national, state and local levels.

Projects In the absence of congressional legislation specifically addressing climate change, federal activity under the Obama administration took place under the authority of existing environmental, energy, and natural resources laws. The Trump administration has initiated a deregulatory agenda that has re-oriented the Sabin Center’s work – from a focus on exercising executive authority to combat climate change to a focus on limiting executive discretion to ignore it. Meanwhile, action continues to be taken at state and local levels. The Sabin Center conducts independent research to produce publications and useful resources; advances new techniques and ideas through direct engagement; and partners with agencies, NGOs, and the private sector to promote climate action. Clean Air Act The Environmental Protection Agency has authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate mobile and stationary sources of greenhouse gases. The Sabin Center has been active in informing and defending EPA’s affirmative regulations, in advocating for more ambitious action and in opposing deregulation by the Trump administration. • Engagement: In May the Sabin Center submitted comments to EPA on its implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order on Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda. The comments detail the economic and public health benefits of climate regulation and the need for increased GHG emissions reductions. • Communications: Michael Gerrard, Michael Burger and Sabin Center fellows appeared as sources discussing climate deregulation in dozens of news articles, including articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, The Christian Science Monitor,Vox, ProPublica and other publications. Michael Gerrard was also featured on Carbon Brief and Michael Burger was a guest on NPR’s ScienceFriday.

• Talks: Romany Webb spoke on the Trump Administration’s roll-back of EPA methane regulations at the Texas Environmental Law Journal Symposium in March. In April Jessica Wentz spoke at Hofstra University’s “Environmental Law Under the Trump Administration” about recent developments in climate change law and policy and the Sabin Center’s Climate Deregulation Tracker. Adaptation As well as taking steps to mitigate climate change, humanity must also find ways to adapt to it. The Sabin Center conducts research into how existing laws and regulations can be used to promote short and longer-term adaptation efforts within government and the private sector. • Engagement: In April the Sabin Center delivered adaptation plans to three Florida communities threatened by rising sea levels: St. Augustine, Clearwater, and Escambia County. The plans provide legal and policy frameworks for adaptation, as well as in-depth analyses of responses to rising oceans in those communities. As part of its consultation, the Center also shared lessons learned and thoughts

Human Rights Climate change poses serious risks to human rights for individuals and communities around the world, including the rights to life, health, food, and an adequate standard of living. The global response to climate change also poses risks to human rights, as mitigation or adaptation projects threaten to displace or dispossess communities, potentially without adequate participation. • Talks: Michael Burger spoke about human rights and climate change at Human Rights Watch’s annual retreat in New York City in April. Environmental Assessment The National Environmental Policy Act and its state and international analogs provide for the assessment of environmental impacts of proposed projects, plans and programs. The Sabin Center examines legal requirements and practices relating to the analysis of GHG emissions and the impacts of climate change on proposed projects under these statutes. • Talks: In April Jessica Wentz spoke at the 2017 International Association for Impact Assessment Conference in Montreal on how environmental impact assessments can be used as an adaptation planning tool.

• Research & Education: With supervision from the Sabin Center, a team of undergraduate students conducted a review of federal environmental impact statements (EISs) to assess how federal agencies were implementing the Council on Environmental Quality’s guidance on accounting for climate change in environmental reviews conducted NEPA. This research was completed as a capstone project for the undergraduate Sustainable Development program. Energy Law The Sabin Center seeks to encourage a more rational accounting of climate change-related impacts of energy use and to advance the decarbonization of the energy sector in the U.S. and elsewhere. Our current efforts focus on federal and state laws and regulations relating to clean energy development and integration, utility regulation, and the extraction and consumption of fossil fuels. • Research: The Sabin Center is working with scientists at the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy to assess the feasibility of storing carbon dioxide offshore in sub-seabed geological formations. Current projects are assessing the legal and regulatory framework for offshore storage in the northeastern U.S. and on the west coast of Canada. • Talks: Romany Webb participated in a panel on carbon pricing in wholesale electricity markets at the Spring Conference of the Independent Power Producers of New York.

New York City is home to two types of efforts to use green infrastructure to achieve climate change adaptation and hazard mitigation goals. One aims to carpet public and private properties with green roofs and rain gardens, the other involves acquiring properties in communities hit hard by flooding and dedicating the land to open space, recreation, or wetland management uses. Panelists expert in engineering, policy, and law will discuss the challenges and benefits associated with these programs and others like them. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

As required by a 2014 state statute, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has just issued official sea level rise projections. They reflect a range of possible scenarios; at the high end, sea level in the New York City area could rise 75 inches (6.2 feet) by the year 2100.This program will explore how these projections, now that they are embodied in a formal regulation, will affect a broad range of decisions in building and infrastructure siting, design, construction and materials; insurance and financing; environmental impact review; and securities disclosure.

The Sabin Center has partnered with StateAG.org to develop a database of environmental actions undertaken by state attorneys general as they seek to advance environmental law and policy objectives within their jurisdictions. The database includes legal actions initiated by state attorneys general against the federal government, private actors, and other public entities; defensive actions taken in support of federal and state rules; amicus briefs; regulatory petitions and other forms of participation in administrative proceedings; legislative inputs (e.g., congressional testimony and bill proposals); and other types of interventions.
