Check out our new study, “DARK CLOUDS FADING LIGHT: A Review of Recent U.S. Supreme Court Civil Justice and Regulatory Cases.” https://lnkd.in/eBMZe6ux Even within this limited subject matter, the breadth and hypocrisy of recent #SCOTUS decisions, which have overturned or weakened significant public protection rulings, laws and norms, is disturbing. But there were also various points of light in the most recent term. We are pleased to spotlight them, as well.

“Around the world, both innovative and old-school legal arguments are being used to go after companies and governments to seek redress or forestall future harms. At the same time, the fossil fuel industry and its allies have powerful new legal grounds at their disposal to challenge climate rules. A number of cases could be taken up by the highest courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court and The Hague.” https://lnkd.in/ewTxdNjx

With the summer travel season upon us, we are proud to release our important new study, "MOVING HAZARDS: Transportation Systems and Environmental Disasters." https://lnkd.in/ePxF5AgY The study focuses on four main transportations system—roads (trucks), rails (trains), water (vessels) and land (pipelines). It examines the unnerving frequency of hazmat accidents, their impact on communities and individuals, weak regulatory oversight, well-known case studies, and how important it is for victims to seek some kind of recourse in court following a disaster. We also produced four fact sheets to accompany the report. Check it out!
