​Michael Gerrard’s talk, titled “Climate Change and Land Use Law: A Strategy to Avoid the Worst Impacts” explores how the latest climate projections paint a dire future unless radical measures are taken. Professor Gerrard will discuss how settled doctrines and practices in land use and environmental law will need to be revisited if we are to forestall the worst impacts of climate change, and cope with those that will occur anyway. Michael Gerrard is the Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice and Associate Chair of the Earth Institute at Columbia Law School in New York​
