Center for Law, Energy & the Environment 2021 snapshot THE CENTER FOR LAW, ENERGY & THE ENVIRONMENT develops pragmatic solutions to environmental and energy challenges by harnessing the expertise and creativity of the Berkeley Law community. We work across disciplines and institutional borders to craft effective laws, policies, and implementation systems that lead to equitable and sustainable outcomes. We find solutions by producing timely, relevant, and non-partisan research, fostering robust conversation and debate on key issues, and educating the next generation of environmental and energy leaders and decision makers. 2020 wrought sorrow in so many ways. We are reckoning with an international health crisis, systemic injustice, and polarized political systems. As we explore ways to overcome these deep-seated problems, CLEE has also continued to pursue groundbreaking research in environmental and and policy and spread innovative ideas—virtually. Our initiatives and core programs in Climate, Water, Oceans, and have grown considerably over the past year, taking on ever-growing and pressing challenges. climate

CLEE’s climate program has become a hub for innovative policy solutions and climate action in . We collaborated with California leaders in 2020 to advance state climate goals on issues including energy grid resilience, electric vehicle battery supply chains, and phasing out oil and gas extraction.

The ocean not only covers over two-thirds of Earth’s surface, it is also critical to sustaining all life on it, both terrestrial and aquatic. We focus on identifying the gaps in our network of global governance systems, at both local and international levels, and finding equitable, efficient ways to fill them.

Their experts brought a sincere appetite for moving slow and amorphous processes forward by bringing energy, perspective, and inclusive leadership to our group of NGOs, offshore wind developers, and scientists.” —Sandy Aylesworth, Oceans Advocate, Natural Resources Defense Council Project Climate

Project Climate focuses on one of the great challenges for climate change action: moving the most promising climate solutions to policy and scale, and doing it quickly. In its first full year, we have developed and launched multiple programs and actions already impacting California communities, national policies, and worldwide negotiations.

Our GrizzlyCorps fellows have been on the frontlines of that expansion; continuing existing projects, designing and implementing new ones, and constantly rethinking how we solve the issues we face,” —Tim Borden, Land Stewardship Coordinator, McConnell Foundation

Program Spotlight GrizzlyCorps A cornerstone of CLEE’s Project Climate initiative and UC Berkeley’s first AmeriCorps fellowship program, GrizzlyCorps sends 20 recent college graduates to different localities in California for roughly one year of service. GrizzlyCorps emphasizes the education of the next generation of young climate leaders by sending them to rural farm and forest communities across California to learn, collaborate, and promote climate-smart approaches to environmental development. By supporting regenerative agri-food systems and forest and fire resilience in the communities they serve, GrizzlyCorps helps create innovative, practical approaches that promote carbon sequestration, responsible land management, conservation, and protection of working lands. Program Spotlight Climate Risk Initiative Former California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones established the Climate Risk Initiative at CLEE to research and develop market-based, regulatory, and public policy tools to assist the insurance and financial industries in recognizing and addressing the risks caused by climate change. In collaboration with the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, CLEE authored The California Responsible Investment Roadmap in September 2020, identifying California policy and regulatory recommendations to promote the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into investment decision-making. Dave Jones also contributed to the path-breaking report Managing Climate Risks in the US Financial System issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)—the first report issued by a US financial regulator to find that climate change threatens the stability of the financial system and make comprehensive recommendations for addressing climate risks.

“Financial regulators in the US cannot afford to wait to see if governments will take the necessary actions to reduce sufficiently. Their responsibilities to oversee firms in the financial sector in the face of climate risk require that they take action now.” —Dave Jones, Director, Climate Risk Initiative, and former California Insurance Commissioner, in Responsible Investor water

As water management challenges intensify, CLEE’s water program maps forward progress on critical water issues. We specialize in a unique blend of legal, policy, and technical expertise, producing robust analysis and actionable policy recommendations that directly inform decision making.

“CLEE’s water program takes interdisciplinary science and policy research and turns this knowledge into action. Their advice reaches from snowpack to groundwater basins, and I have seen firsthand how much it helps practitioners, policy makers, and communities in guiding us towards a sustainable water future for all of California.” —Armando Quintero, Director, California State Parks, and Former Chair, California Water Commission California-China Climate Institute

Led by former California Governor Jerry Brown in partnership with China’s Special Advisor for Climate Change Affairs Xie Zhenhua, the California-China Climate Institute has continued to foster international collaboration in its first full year. In 2020, CCCI worked on ground-breaking research initiatives, convened dialogues among transpacific leaders, and initiated productive training sessions for business leaders. “The California-China Climate Institute has created a platform for top leaders in California, the U.S. and China to share and advance climate policy at a time when doors have slammed shut elsewhere. Our climate emergency demands that we continue to push for collective solutions backed by thoughtful, actionable research and analysis.” —Mary Nichols, Vice-Chair, CCCI, and former Chair, California Air Resources Board

Despite an extraordinary and difficult year at the law school, CLEE’s students have gone above and beyond, contributing valuable research across our slate of research initiatives. CLEE is proud to provide the next generation of environmental and energy law leaders with funding, scholarship opportunities, research positions, extracurricular events, and more.

HONORING A CLEE EMERITUS ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER

DEANNA RUTH RUTTER (J.D. ’72) Deanna grew up with a passion for a clean environment. After earning a political science degree from UC Berkeley, Deanna enrolled in Berkeley Law in 1969. As a single mother, Deanna juggled student and family obligations and often brought her 2-year-old son to school with her, keeping him busy with coloring books while she studied. In 1970, Bill Chamberlain (’71) recruited Deanna to join the fledglingEcology Law Quarterly. In 1971, she succeeded him, becoming the first female Editor-in-Chief. In that role, she helped lay the foundation for what is now a top law review and a nationally recognized environmental law program getting ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Deanna’s career has included private law practice and establishing organic vineyards. She was one of the original Board members of CLEE. Today, she channels her energy into the environment and political causes, especially with her financial support of CLEE. She sees CLEE’s work as paramount on both the policy and the education fronts. Starting with a $30 donation in 1983, Deanna’s steady philanthropy has now added up to over a quarter million dollars for Berkeley Law and CLEE. Her most recent gift enabled CLEE’s compilation of the federal government’s environmental rollbacks for identifying rescission strategies for the incoming administration.

Williams Environmental Law and Policy. Erin’s background includes legal and policy work in $5,000+ science, energy, and environmental issues. She served as a staff attorney for the Susan & Samuel Britton California Wilderness Coalition. She spent several years working on Capitol Hill, Holly Doremus & Gordon E. Anthon where she championed significant environmental health legislation and served as Dianne & Daniel Farber a staffer on the Sustainable Energy and Environment Committee.
