Dean for Environmental Programs For the last several years, we've started our Fall newsletter by acknowledging the unexpectedly large hurricane that unsettled us in the first month of school-Michael, Sally, Ian, Idalia-but also the resilience that we and our neighboring communities have shown in the face of these challenges. To celebrate the fifth anniversary of this newsletter, we have been greeted this month by not one but two monster storms, Helene, and not two weeks later, Milton. Our hearts go out to all impacted by these storms, including many of our students, colleagues, and their families. Helene was significant not only because of the reach of its devastation, but also because it is one of the first storms that scientists have now concluded was not just statistically related to a warming climate, but definitely exacerbated by it. The force of the storm and the extraordinary rainfall it conveyed was only possible due to the extreme warming of the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As communities in Florida, North Carolina, and neighboring states continue to work through the devastation of Helene and Milton, we resolve to continue our mission of preparing the next generation of lawyers and policymakers to cope with the demands of this new era of climate related challenges. These include planning for and responding to storms, fires, droughts, and floods, and also exploring new tools of energy development, land use planning, and technologies for adaptation and mitigation. In service of that goal, in addition to our foundational courses and exciting line up of events this fall, we invite students to register now for a host of related course offerings next Spring, such as Climate Change Science & Policy, Coastal Planning, Oil and Gas Law, Energy Law, Ocean and Coastal Law, and Environmental Policy and Natural Resources Law. There is much work to be done, and many opportunities to make a difference! Students, we hope to see you in our classes, and alums, we are grateful for the differences you are already making in the wider legal world. --ER Faculty Scholarship and News [https://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20241014/ec/68/eb/c5/96f49c53d3c5ce33ebc49a3f_434x290.png] Shi-Ling Hsu, D'Alemberte Professor Climate Resilience: A Typology, __ UMKC L.

Professor of Environmental Justice, Yale School of the Environment, and Professor of Law, Yale Law School, Gerald Torres will present Environmental Justice: Environmental Joy. "Joy, a transformative force with diverse meanings, can be a beacon enabling the pursuit of a better world. Joy can be innate, born of grace when one feels in harmony with nature, community, faith, culture, laws, policy, or even the economy. It is what injustice can take from us and what we regain when healing and repair occur. Joy is a core piece of what we seek when working for justice. It expresses the goal that sustains the work for a better world." In his lecture, Professor Torres will explain how the primary objective of most environmental and climate initiatives is to alleviate suffering and enhance well-being and explore and celebrate how environmental justice achieves these goals. The aim is to assist the field of environmental and climate justice in discovering and enhancing practices that reduce harm and promote well-being. Professor Torres's lecture will be held October 30th from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the FSU Law Rotunda, with a reception to follow. For those who cannot attend in person, it will be livestreamed here.

Her paper has also been selected for publication in the October edition of the Florida Bar Environmental & Land Use Law Section's The Reporter. The paper explores Florida jurisprudence after the state's 2018 constitutional amendment mandating de novo review of agency interpretations, and how that prohibition on deference has looked in practice, specifically within the environmental context, to address concerns that the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision will upend federal environmental regulations and the administrative state more broadly. After serving as a Legislative Fellow last year, Hannah interned in the North Carolina legislature's bill drafting division this past summer, where she gained a multi-faceted-and multi-state-understanding of the nuances of government. She hopes to return to nonpartisan legislative work after graduation.
