搁茅蝉耻尘茅

[en anglais seulement] This presentation offers a new perspective in the quest for climate justice. It addresses creative common law and statutory law theories that seek to hold fossil fuel companies and concentrated animal feeding operations (鈥淐AFOs鈥� or 鈥渇actory farms鈥�) accountable for their role as 鈥渃ommon enemies鈥� in harming humans, the environment, and animals by exacerbating climate change while profiting from their operations. Myriad cutting-edge lawsuits against these industries are underway in the U.S. in the past few years, but there has been no scholarly inquiry that unites the theories from the environmental law (fossil fuel companies) and animal law (CAFOs) domains into one analysis.

This presentation will evaluate these efforts in a broader context to explore how the environmental and animal law movements can collaborate more effectively around the issue of climate change to secure mutual gains in protecting humans, animals, and the environment. It explores how the two movements need to leverage public and private governance mechanisms to promote transitions away from reliance on carbon-intensive fossil fuel use and methane-intensive factory farms as significant drivers of the U.S. economy at the expense of the environment, animals, and public health in the Anthropocene era.
