Panelists:

  • Blake Hudson, Dean & Professor of Law, Cumberland School of Law

  • Cari Goetcheus, Professor, Founders Memorial Garden Director, & Draper Chair, UGA CE+D

This panel will focus on the effects of law and regulation on the environment in conjunction with the impact of climate change. Dean Hudson will discuss his article on how federal, state, and local government decisions have resulted in less resilient forests and what frameworks will protect against such harms going forward. Professor Lin will provide insight into the effects of climate change in disaster-prone areas. Professor Lin will further provide insight into the perpetuating impact of public insurance on the disaster-rebuild cycle, absent a mechanism to begin moving people out of these at-risk areas. Dr. Shepherd, a highly respected researcher in atmospheric science, will provide expert insight on climate change. Finally, Professor Goetcheus will lend her perspective on how global climate change and regulation interface with cultural resources. Dr. Orford, a professor at the University of Georgia and an expert in environmental law, will provide thought-provoking questions to get to the heart of these issues and direct the discussion throughout this panel.
