Mijin Cha New Books Network, J. Mijin Cha, Stephen Pimpare 00:25:22 Hothouse Earth is excited to share a special cross-podcast from the New Books Network, featuring over 15,000 interviews with authors about their latest books. Last month, New Books Network host Stephen Pimpare, professor of Public Policy at Vermont Law and Graduate School, spoke with J. Mijin Cha, assistant professor of Environmental Studies at UC Santa Cruz and Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Distinguished Energy Law Summer Scholar this year. Cha discusses her book, A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future. To meet the greenhouse gas emissions reductions needed to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, a transition away from fossil fuels must occur, as quickly as possible. But there are many unknowns when it comes to moving from theory to implementation for such a large-scale energy transition, to say nothing of whether this transition will be “just.” In A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future (MIT Press, 2024), J. Mijin Cha—a seasoned climate policy researcher who also works with advocacy organizations and unions—offers a comprehensive analysis of how we can actualize a just transition in the U.S. context and enact transformational changes that meaningfully improve people’s lives. Cha provides a novel governance framework called the “Four+ Pillars,” formulated from original research to provide a way to move from theory to practice. The “Pillars” framework includes a novel analysis that guides readers in understanding how to formulate effective just transition policies, what makes them just or unjust, and, similarly, what makes transition just and unjust. The framework also combines theoretical discussions with original empirical research and provides insights into perceptions of just transition. Grounded in real-world perspectives that make the case for policies that advance a just transition for all, not just fossil fuel workers, Cha charts the path forward to an equitable and sustainable future that no longer depends on fossil fuels.

President Trump John Echeverria, Jeannie Oliver, Mason Overstreet, Environmental Law Center, Vermont Law School, Jennifer Rushlow, Anne Linehan, Emily Potts 00:23:11 On June 20, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments in Sierra Club v Trump. The President is challenging the Federal District Court's issuance of a preliminary injunction to temporarily stop the President from using military funds to build the southern border wall. The case explores President Trump's authority to divert funds toward the border wall pursuant to the President's National Emergency Declaration and other statutory authority, contrary to Congress's express will. This episode's guest, VLS Professor John Echeverria, discusses Sierra Club v Trump in terms of the separation of powers, appropriations, and the President's authority under the National Emergency Declaration and other statutes invoked to fund the border wall. Hosts, Jeannie and Mason also tackle the environmental issues surrounding this case. How is this an environmental issue and why is the Sierra Club involved in this case? Why aren't NEPA and other environmental protection statutes being applied to the border wall construction? What will be the fallout of this decision?
