The fifth meeting of the Environmental Law Collaborative took place in Colorado Springs in July. During the conference, environmental law scholars from around the country met to discuss "Facing the Worst Climate Case: The Role of Law." The Environmental Law Collaborative (ELC) seeks to foster progress toward an adaptive, conscious, and equitable governance of actions that impact local and global ecologies by engaging the contemporary discourse. The ELC facilitates dialogue among thought leaders on sustainable policy priorities, practical implementation strategies, assessment mechanisms, and cooperative analysis of science, economics, and ethics.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University was a co-sponsor of the fifth meeting of the ELC. Attending the recent ELC meeting from Haub Law were Professors Katrina Fischer Kuh and Josh Galperin. Professor Kuh is a board member of the ELC.

In a New York Times interview, Pace Haub Law’s Distinguished University Professor Bridget J. Crawford explains how the tax code is “not neutral” and how it can reinforce gender inequality by undervaluing caregiving, penalizing some second earners, and privileging wealth over work. “Feminism is, at its core, the effort to ensure that our legal and economic systems allow everyone to live with equal dignity, autonomy and economic security,” Professor Crawford says.
