We’re kicking off the school year, and our new series Her Way Climate with an interview with Deborah Sivas, an Environmental Lawyer and Director of the Environmental Law Clinic at Stanford Law School. Professor Sivas shares her experience working in the nuanced intersection of climate policy and environmental law. Sivas predicts that due to a conservative Supreme Court, there will be less and less judicial environmental protection as court decisions continue to water down protective litigation, as seen in cases regarding the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Clean Air Act. Moreover, Professor Sivas urges updates to environmental legislation that was “adopted in a different era,” in order to adapt to our current climate crisis. Sivas emphasizes that addressing climate change requires the work of not only environmental litigators, but policy makers, independent institutions, and ordinary citizens: it truly “takes a village.”
