Welcome to the podcast of the Green Enterprise Institute. We are a London-based think-tank, whose goal is to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral world economy. We believe that a serious public discussion about the role that businesses must play in the environmental arena is missing and desperately needed. We we aim to create a place the smartest voices in the environmental enterprise arena can meet to discuss the greatest paradigm shift of this century, and how we we can make it happen.

  1. Dr. Carmen Pavel (Ep. 5): International Law and the Anthropocene

    04/04/2022

    Dr. Carmen Pavel (Ep. 5): International Law and the Anthropocene

    Dr. Pavel specialises in political philosophy and the history of political thought. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University and served as a postdoctoral fellow and lecturer at the University of Virginia and and the University of Arizona. While at King’s, she has directed the Philosophy Politics, and Economics programme, contributing to its re-design.   Dr Pavel’s first book, entitled Divided Sovereignty, was published by Oxford University Press in 2015. Her latest, Law Beyond the State, was published at the end of last year and focuses on the reasons we have to develop international law and the appropriate scope of its authority over sovereign states. It examines under what conditions international law is compatible with the sovereignty claims of constitutional democracies and lays out tentatives guidelines for what she calls “Global Constitutionalism”.   Re-configuring our systems of international governance and accountability is a crucial part of what William E. Rees has labeled bio-cultural adaptation. That is why this conversation with Dr. Pavel, and her book - law beyond the state - it so relevant to the moment at hand.

  5. Prof. Mary Wood (Ep. 1): Environmental action through a legal trust paradigm

    Prof. Mary Wood (Ep. 1): Environmental action through a legal trust paradigm

    Professor Mary Wood, a distinguished Philip H. Knight Professor, the Faculty Director of the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center of the University of Oregon, and the author of Nature’s Trust. Her groundbreaking book proposes a paradigm shift in environmental law, based an application of public trust doctrine, by which natural resources (including a carbon-stable atmosphere) are owned by all citizens equally as a trust asset, and the view that the government is a trustee with a restorative duty not only to prevent future damage, but also to repair past harms. Prof. Wood has been involved in several environmental litigations suites, inspiring the legal action undertaken by the non-profit organization “Our Children’s Trust”. Her views on environmental law are as compelling as her influence in the legal arena may prove transformative.
