This makes sense. If the #builtworld will/must adapt to #climate impacts to be resilient, then the law will have to keep up. And it isn’t / hasn’t. Thoughtful article here from Mark Nevitt of Emory University School of Law in the Stanford Law Review. We need more thinking like this to inform meaningful adaptation. #resilience #adaptation #realestate #law

Over the weekend, the Stanford Law Review published my latest Article, “The Legal Crisis Within the Climate Crisis.” This project has been in the works for over a decade, and was first inspired by my time as a U.S. Navy JAG Corps attorney working on climate adaptation at Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval base and located in an area uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise. Ready for download here: https://lnkd.in/eEZBYz8e I argue that laws designed for an "Earth 1.0" will prove unworkable for a destabilized "Earth 2.0." Absent legal change, longstanding legal doctrine will cast a shadow over innovative climate adaptation measures, discouraging courageous climate action. Hence, the lurking legal crisis that is unfolding alongside the #climate crisis.
