  • Climate Change and Pacific Island Countries
    Empowered lives. Resilient nations. Climate Change and Pacic Island Countries Background Papers Series 2012/07 Asia-Pacific Human Development Report Background Papers Series 2012/07 Climate Change and Pacific Island Countries Patrick D. Nunn For more than 25 years, Patrick Nunn worked at the University of the South Pacific and is currently at the University of New England. He has authored more than 200 publications including five books. In 2003 he was awarded the Gregory Medal of the Pacific Science Association and in 2007 shared the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the IPCC. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since being first settled by humans more than 3000 years ago, the Pacific Islands region has experienced innumerable changes in climate that have affected livelihoods, something that underlines the sensitivity of such comparatively small and resource-constrained landmasses to extraneous change but also helps explain why their inhabitants developed resilience strategies that remain important today. During the past 100 years, the region has been affected by increased temperatures and sea- level rise, together with other climate-linked changes including variability in ENSO periodicity and tropical-cyclone frequency. Owing to the increasing pace of globalisation in the region during the same period, together with growing populations and demands on island resources, it is difficult to isolate changes ascribable to climate change; some of the clearest of these are the increases in coral bleaching, incidences of coastal flooding and shoreline erosion. Despite knowledge about the causes and effects of climate-related environmental (and related) changes in the region, supported by considerable financial aid and other external assistance, the awareness of most Pacific people about climate change and the extent of community buy-in to appropriate adaptation agendas have been negligible.

  • Climate Change As Opportunity*
    the author(s) 2012 articles ISSN 1473-2866 ephemera www.ephemeraweb.org theory & politics in organization volume 12(1/2): 113-137 The prey of uncertainty: Climate change as opportunity* Jerome Whitington abstract In this article I describe the post-Copenhagen moment in carbon markets and climate politics as one characterised by deep uncertainty. Uncertainty describes the social experience of emerging climate policy, but it is also business strategy. Uncertainty is necessary for markets to function. To understand this, I look toward practices of capitalism, which produce the future as indeterminate. Uncertainty is generated by business practices of treating conventions – rules and institutions, but also social conventions such as people’s ‘green’ expectations – in terms of their material opportunities. Treating conventions as always open to negotiation requires an ambitious or speculative ethos. Rather than projecting a stable vision of reality, nature or truth, these practitioners constantly ask, what can we do with these possibilities? I project that the near future will involve a proliferation of low-value, nontransparent carbon markets without any binding global cap on emissions. Introduction The establishment of global carbon markets by regulatory fiat would mark the triumph of financial hegemony over the politics of climate change risk. Climate finance practitioners have first multiplied in numbers in the speculative lead-up to Copenhagen’s COP15 and then spectacularly retreated to the wings to wait again for the signs of easy short-term profit, an ebb and flow marking new high tide for what Christian Marazzi (2010) has called the ‘violence of financial capitalism’. Even so, the theme for 2010 was how carbon markets might still be a basis for accumulation in the absence of a global market organised around a comprehensive UN agreement.

  • How Island States Can Maintain Statehood in the Face of Disappearing Territory
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Michigan State University College of Law: Digital Commons THE GLOBAL “DISAPPEARING ACT”: HOW ISLAND STATES CAN MAINTAIN STATEHOOD IN THE FACE OF DISAPPEARING TERRITORY Jacquelynn Kittel* 2014 MICH.ST.L.REV.1207 ABSTRACT There are currently several island states that will cease to exist in a few decades. Due to climate change and rising sea levels, these islands will soon become uninhabitable and eventually disappear, leaving island populations without a home country. There have been several proposed solutions—including sea defenses, artificial islands, and governments-in-exile—though none have proved sufficient in addressing this problem, and the question of their continued statehood remains unresolved. International law does not adequately address this problem, and it needs to develop in a way that not only ensures the continued existence of these states, but also addresses the actions of other states that contribute to climate change in an attempt to slow or stop this process. Much of the existing legal scholarship on disappearing islands tackles the problem of climate migrants by suggesting changes to international refugee law, which does not solve the problem of statehood. Nonetheless, the legal scholarship that does address statehood rarely tackles the underlying cause of the problem—climate change. This Article recommends a hybrid treaty that allows for the continued existence of these states through a modified state-in-exile. The proposed treaty simultaneously encourages states to lower their greenhouse gas emissions by requiring the worst offenders of climate change to become host countries for displaced island people.

NOTE Organizing in the Shadows: Limits on Union Organization of Undocumented Day Laborers Paige Coomer* ABSTRACT This Note illustrates how the current US labor scheme acts as an impediment to union organization of undocumented day laborers. While the market for these contingent workers grows, so too does the need for worker protection from abuses. However, unions face legal and structural barriers that prevent them from effectively organizing day laborers. Ultimately, these legal and structural barriers show that the US labor scheme as a whole is incapable of effectively responding to the needs of day laborers, and by extension, to the needs of a globalized, migrant workforce. My Note argues that by failing to adapt to changes brought on by globalization, our labor law cannot be harnessed to protect vulnerable day laborers.

Liver diseases are the leading causes of death in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive persons since the widespread use of combination antiretroviral treatment (cART). Most of these deaths are due to hepatitis C (HCV) or B (HBV) virus coinfections. Little is known about other causes. Prolonged exposure to some antiretroviral drugs might increase hepatic mortality. Methods. All patients in the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs study without HCV or HBV coinfection were prospectively followed from date of entry until death or last follow-up.
