Hydro Quebec Sustainable Development Energy Justice Project

CISDL Senior Legal Research Fellow Prof Richard Janda was appointed Sustainable Development Scholar, with support from Hydro Quebec, as part of a larger research grant given to McGill University. The grant permits the Law Faculty to support graduate students doing legal research in sustainable development and student initiatives. The CISDL has launched, together with McGill Law Faculty, a new Legal Working Paper Series on Theories of Justice and Sustainable Development. In 2008, Hydro Quebec funds were applied in support of a book project on global energy policy led by John Haffner, a McGill Law graduate, that focuses on transitions to a better energy future. Haffner advanced the project as a World Fellow at Yale University, interviewing more than 50 energy experts worldwide. He is now focused on completing the book, with contributions from Michael Dworkin and Kari Twaite of Vermont Law School, working toward publication in 2010.
