SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Someone
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session will be presented by Kristen Stilt from Harvard Law School and a VLGS Distinguished Animal Law Summer Scholar. \n\n\n\nAn assumed division between human and nonhuman animals (and most of nature) has long been baked into most of Western culture and law. As effects of the Anthropocene bring humans and animals in closer and more frequent contact\, increasingly in emergency and catastrophic situations\, we are beginning to see more signs of awareness that humans and animals are not only ecologically but profoundly interdependent—and that each animal should not be categorized something\, but as someone. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Thermal Energy Networks Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar on the new Thermal Energy Networks: A Legislative Guidebook—a resource for states\, cities\, and utilities advancing neighborhood-scale clean heating and cooling. \n\n\n\nHeating and cooling buildings makes up 43% of U.S. energy use. To cut emissions\, states are passing laws to enable thermal energy networks (TENs): water-filled pipe systems that deliver heating and cooling without combustion. Eight states have already passed TENs legislation\, and more are following suit. \n\n\n\nHosted by Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Institute for Energy and the Environment and the Building Decarbonization Coalition\, this webinar will introduce the guidebook and key lessons from recent TENs laws. We will discuss: \n\n\n\n\nWhat are TENs\, and why enable them? \n\n\n\nHow can legislation ensure TENs are equitable\, affordable\, and effective? \n\n\n\nWhat is needed for a system-wide transition to clean heating and cooling? \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\nLawrence Garber\, Interim Associate Director of Policy Acceleration\, Building Decarbonization CoalitionEduardo Nicolás Otero Bakai\, Global Energy Fellow\, Institute for Energy and the EnvironmentModerator: Ana Maria (Ania) Camargo Cortes\, Associate Director\, Thermal Networks\, Building Decarbonization CoalitionHost: Mark James\, Interim Director of the Institute for Energy and the Environment

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Lab Animal Welfare Laws and Policies
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for this summer’s Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Law Animal Welfare Laws and Policies\,” will be presented by Larry Carbone. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Carbone will explore the effect of using charismatic species (such as dogs\, primates\, and rabbits) to advance welfare reforms. Do new laws and practices crafted to accommodate interests of one species have a ripple effect that improves the lot of other animals? Or do special protections for one type of animal come at the expense of others? Carbone shows how both outcomes have occurred through the years\, and argues that activists should be mindful of arguments that elevate species we care about at the expense of those without a human constituency advocating for their interests. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
