USC GOULD LAW — A paper co-authored by Professor Robin Craig and published in the Minnesota Law Review was named one of the 20 best papers of 2022 by the Environmental Law Institute’s Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review. The paper, titled “4°C” and co-authored by J.B. Ruhl of Vanderbilt Law School, warns of a global temperature increase of at least 4°C within the next century — higher than what most governments are preparing for. The paper makes several novel arguments urging the U.S. government to adopt a new climate change policy to deal with the effects of increased warming, including large scale migration of people and animals.
