Moderator: Dr. Sonia Hirt, Dean & Hughes Professor in Landscape Architecture & Planning, UGA CE+D Panelists: Blake Hudson, Dean & Professor of Law, Cumberland School of Law Shelley Saxer, Laure Sudreau Endowed Professor of Law, Pepperdine Caruso School of Law John Travis Marshall, Associate Professor of Law, Georgia State University College of Law Mark Nevitt, Associate Professor, Emory University School of Law This panel’s discussion will involve planning today for tomorrow’s uncertainties in light of an evolving climate and regulatory regime. Dean Blake Hudson will discuss his scholarship, Resilient Forest Management and Climate Change. Specifically, Dean Hudson will argue, among other things, how, in light of climate-induced deforestation, society “must craft law and policy responses to help forests adapt more quickly.” Professor Shelley Saxer’s scholarship, Building Climate Resilience with Local Tools, will argue in favor of “mitigation and adaptation strategies that should inform rebuilding efforts” after disruptive disasters. Professor John Travis Marshall will highlight his scholarship, States in an Era of Climate Change: Hurricane Michael and Opportunities to Advance Rural Resilience to Natural Hazards. In so doing, Professor Marshall will suggest ways that communities “might move quickly following a disaster event to jumpstart long-term transformative housing recovery.” Professor Mark Nevitt will, again, draw upon his insurance retreat scholarship to discuss how insurers and regulators can aid in planning today for tomorrow’s uncertainties. Throughout the discussion, Dean Sonia Hirt, renowned environmental planner and Guggenheim Fellow, will pose questions to maximize the applicability of the conversation to attendees’ respective legal practices. The panel will conclude with approximately ten minutes of audience question and answer. - External Identifiers:
