DESCRIPTION:The 91şÚÁĎÍř Journal of Sustainable Development Law (MJSDL) welco
 mes Professor Randall S. Abate\, Rechnitz Family and Urban Coast Institute
  Endowed Chair in Marine and Environmental Law and Policy\, Monmouth Unive
 rsity\, New Jersey\, for a remote conference on environmental law and fact
 ory farming.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis presentation offers a new perspective in 
 the quest for climate justice. It addresses creative common law and statut
 ory law theories that seek to hold fossil fuel companies and concentrated 
 animal feeding operations (“CAFOs” or “factory farms”) accountable for the
 ir role as “common enemies” in harming humans\, the environment\, and anim
 als by exacerbating climate change while profiting from their operations. 
 Myriad cutting-edge lawsuits against these industries are underway in the 
 U.S. in the past few years\, but there has been no scholarly inquiry that 
 unites the theories from the environmental law (fossil fuel companies) and
  animal law (CAFOs) domains into one analysis.\n\nThis presentation will e
 valuate these efforts in a broader context to explore how the environmenta
 l and animal law movements can collaborate more effectively around the iss
 ue of climate change to secure mutual gains in protecting humans\, animals
 \, and the environment. It explores how the two movements need to leverage
  public and private governance mechanisms to promote transitions away from
  reliance on carbon-intensive fossil fuel use and methane-intensive factor
 y farms as significant drivers of the U.S. economy at the expense of the e
 nvironment\, animals\, and public health in the Anthropocene era.\n\nAbout
  the speaker\n\nRandall S. Abate is the inaugural Rechnitz Family and Urba
 n Coast Institute Endowed Chair in Marine and Environmental Law and Policy
