CURRENT SHOW:
Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto for an in-depth discussion with Professor Randall Abate, who has published five influential books, and is working on his latest book, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE VOICELESS: PROTECTING FUTURE GENERATIONS, WILDLIFE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES (scheduled for publication with Cambridge University Press in August 2019). He has also written more than 30 law journal articles and book chapters on environmental and animal law topics, with a recent emphasis on climate change law and justice. Professor Abate has 24 years of full-time law teaching experience at six U.S. law schools. (See full bio below.*)
This show will focus on both his new book, and the topic of legal personhood for nonhuman animals.
Future generations, wildlife, and natural resources – collectively referred to as “the voiceless” – are the most vulnerable and least equipped populations to protect themselves from the impacts of global climate change. Domestic and international law protections are beginning to recognize rights and responsibilities that apply to the voiceless community; however, these legal developments have yet to be pursued in a collective manner and have not been considered together in the context of climate change and climate justice.
- What are the the common vulnerabilities of the voiceless in the Anthropocene era?
- What upcoming law case does Professor Abate call “the trial of the century?”
- What does it mean for a natural resource to be granted legal personhood, and how might that impact the ability of animals to achieve that status?
- Might a writ of habeas corpus be successfully used to free certain animals from being held in captivity?
This will be an eye opening discussion that you should not miss.
Join us at 6PM on Friday, Jan 11, on WUSB, 90.1FM, or Live Stream at: http://wusb.fm/
Free of charge, and rich with information and inspiration!
