Durwood Zaelke (born 15 May 1947) is an American environmental litigator, professor, author, and advocate. As President and founder of the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD) in Washington, D.C., and Paris, he currently focuses on fast mitigation strategies to protect the climate, including strategies to reduce short-lived climate pollutants (HFCs, black carbon, ground level ozone, methane), in the context of the need for speed to limit anthropogenic warming to 1.5 °C. [1]

Contents

At the Department of Justice during the early stages of his career, he helped to develop a strong basis of US environmental law prior to becoming one of the pioneers of international environmental law, notably in working to reduce ozone depletion and climate pollution by strengthening the Montreal Protocol. He co-authored the standard English language textbook on international environmental law and policy, [2] founded the international environmental law program at American University, and co-founded the program on governance for sustainable development at the University of California, Santa Barbara's Bren School. [3]

Education and early career

Zaelke was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and grew up in California. He attended the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of California, Berkeley, and received a BA from University of California, LA in 1969 and a J.D. from Duke University School of Law in 1972, where he was an editor of the Duke Law Journal. He is a member of the bar in California, [4] the District of Columbia, [5] and Alaska. [6]

Zaelke began his legal career as the acting Editor-in-Chief of the Environmental Law Reporter at the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) after graduating law school. [7] At ELI he also worked with Frederick R. Anderson on NEPA in the Courts: A Legal Analysis of the National Environmental Policy Act (Resources for the Future, 1973). [8] Later that year, Zaelke joined Adams, Duque & Hazeltine in Los Angeles as an associate (1973–1974). [7] Zaelke returned to the Environmental Law Institute in 1975 where he focused on the need for energy conservation during the OPEC oil embargo. [9]

Career

1978–1980: Special Litigation Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice

In 1978, Zaelke joined the Department of Justice (DOJ) in what is now the Environment and Natural Resources Division. He was one of the three founding attorneys in a new section of the Justice Department—the Policy, Legislation, and Special Litigation section within the Environment Division. [10]

During his tenure at the DOJ, Zaelke designed the federal government's initial hazardous waste enforcement strategy. [9] He led the investigation into several of the initial cases including the Justice-EPA investigation of hazardous waste dumping at Love Canal by Hooker Chemical Company, which was ultimately settled for $129 million, and helped pave the way for the Superfund law enacted in 1980. [11] In 1979 Zaelke led the Department's investigation into the accident at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station. [9]

Zaelke left the DOJ and headed north to Alaska in May 1980 to serve as the director and senior attorney for the Alaska office of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund (SCLDF) (now Earthjustice). [10] His orders from Rick Sutherland, the Executive Director of SCLDF, were to show that cases could be won in Alaska – or to shut down the office in six months. [7]

One of his initial cases blocked what would have been the world's largest open pit molybdenum mine by Rio Tinto - Zinc Corporation in Misty Fjords National Monument, which would have dumped 60,000 tons of toxic tailings a day into the pristine waters of the fjord and its rich salmon streams. [9] Zaelke's work helped conserve important resources in the Tongass National Forest, Admiralty Island National Monument, the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, among others. [12] He also worked closely with the Tlingit village of Angoon on Admiralty Island, the last remaining traditional Tlingit village in the world, helping protect Angoon's traditional subsistence hunting lands from clear cut logging.

After returning from Alaska, Zaelke directed the Washington, D.C., office of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund and founded their international program.

1989–2003: Founder and President, CIEL

While still at SCLDF, Zaelke was asked by Sebia Hawkins, then heading the South Pacific Campaign for Greenpeace, [13] to investigate litigation against Japan for whaling, only to find that no action could be brought by an NGO in the International Court of Justice. [9] He found international environmental law a pale shadow of the national law he was used to and set out with his colleagues to change this by starting a movement modeled after the public interest environmental law movement in the US.

In 1989, Zaelke co-founded the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) in Washington, D.C., and London, with his late wife Barbara L. Shaw, James Cameron, [14] Philippe Sands and Wendy Dinner. [15] CIEL is a public interest environmental law firm dedicated to strengthening and developing international and comparative environmental law, policy, and management throughout the world. [16]

While serving as president of CIEL, Zaelke accepted an appointment as director of the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), [9] a global network of 4,000 environmental enforcement practitioners in over 150 countries, dedicated to raising awareness of compliance and enforcement across the regulatory cycle; developing networks for enforcement cooperation; and strengthening capacity to implement and enforce environmental requirements.

Since 2003: Founder and President, IGSD

In 2003, Zaelke left CIEL and founded the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD), dedicated to applying the lessons of good governance to improve sustainable development, at all levels of government, as well as within the private sector. [9] For more than a decade, Zaelke has led IGSD's fast-action mitigation program, which was first described in Mario Molina, Durwood Zaelke, Veerabhadran Ramanathan, Stephen O. Andersen, & Donald Kaniaru, Reducing abrupt climate change risk using the Montreal Protocol and other regulatory actions to complement cuts in CO2 emissions (2009), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. [17] He continued his role with INECE until 2015.

At Zaelke's helm, IGSD is working to strengthen the climate mitigation potential of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer by reducing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a harmful short-lived climate pollutant primarily used in refrigerants, through research, building awareness and global negotiating. [18] Zaelke and his colleagues contributed to the scientific foundation for these efforts by co-authoring several papers, including several in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2007) [19] and (2009), [20] [17] the Review of European Compliance & International Environmental Law, [21] Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, [22] among others.

Zaelke and IGSD's work for the better part of a decade leading a campaign to phase down HFCs culminated on 15 October 2016 when the Parties to the Montreal Protocol agreed to adopt the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFCs. [23] A global phasedown of HFCs could avoid up to 0.5 °C of warming by 2100, with the initial schedule of the Kigali Amendment capturing about 90% of this potential, and can capture the rest with an accelerated schedule, or leapfrog strategy. [24] Considerably more warming can be avoided from fast implementation and parallel efforts to improve energy efficiency of air conditioners and other cooling equipment. [25] The Montreal Protocol's 2018 quadrennial Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion confirmed that beyond phasing down HFCs, improving the energy efficiency of air conditioners and other cooling equipment has the potential to double the climate benefits of the Kigali Amendment in the near-term. [24] IGSD continues work to promote the ratification and implementation of the Kigali amendment and improvements to energy efficiency equipment to achieve the full suite of climate benefits available.

At IGSD Zaelke also works to mitigate air pollution and other short-lived climate pollutants, including methane. Reducing methane emissions is essential for slowing warming this decade to limit temperatures to 1.5°C and can avoid nearly 0.3°C by 2040s, according to the recent Global Methane Assessment from the United Nations Environment Programme and the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (expert reviewed by IGSD). [26] Following the Global Methane Assessment and the launch of the Global Methane Pledge at COP26, [27] Zaelke is promoting the need for a global methane agreement, inspired by the Montreal Protocol and borrowing some of the architecture from the successful Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. [28]

In 2022 Zaelke was recognized by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the 16 most influential people for climate and environment, among Washington, D.C.'s 500 most influential people. [29]

Writing and commentary

Zaelke is the author, co-author, and editor of several books, publications, and commentaries.

In his 1993 article, Making Trade and Environmental Policies Mutually Reinforcing: Forging Competitive Sustainability, Zaelke proposed the concept of "competitive sustainability" with co-author Robert Z. Housman, defined as "mechanisms for achieving sustainable development by harmonizing domestic and international environmental standards through the use of competitive forces which reward the cleanest and most efficient economic actors." [30] Housman and Zaelke explained that a "mutually reinforcing mechanism of incentives and disincentives at the international level would direct trade and environmental policies to attain sustainability goals. They also proposed that countries could coordinate and provide an "upward harmonization" of domestic and international environmental standards, with resulting effects of higher environmental and social protection." [30]

He is co-author of the standard English language textbook on international environmental law and policy, International Environmental Law and Policy, Foundation Press 6th ed. 2022 (co-authored with David Hunter and James Salzman), [2] and Cut Super Climate Pollutants Now!The Ozone Treaty's Urgent Lessons for Speeding Up Climate Action, 2021, Changemakers Books (co-authored with Alan Miller and Dr. Stephen. O. Andersen). [31]

Zaelke co-chaired, with Nobel Laureate Mario J. Molina, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and UN Environment Program (UNEP) Cooling Emissions and Policy Synthesis Report (2020) [32] and the underlying assessment of the report, the Assessment of Climate and Development Benefits of Efficient and Climate-Friendly Cooling (2020), [33] authored under the guidance of a Steering Committee of leading scholars and government, think tank, and independent experts.

Zaelke also co-chaired with Nobel Laureate Mario J. Molina, and Professor V. Ramanathan at the University of California, San Diego, the Well Under 2 Degrees Celsius: Fast Action Policies to Protect People and the Planet from Extreme Climate Change report (2017), which identified scalable solutions to achieve rapid climate stability, authored by a team of 33 prominent scientists and policy experts. [34] He contributed to the University of California's climate change textbook, Bending the Curve: Climate Change Solutions (with Professor V. Ramanathan and J. Cole), [35] and a chapter on fluorinated gasses for ELI's Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States (2019) (with N. Borgford- Parnell, & Dr. S. O. Andersen). [36]

He has also authored and co-authored many Op-Eds in leading publications including, The San Diego Union-Tribune , [37] The Hill , [38] Project Syndicate , [39] , The New York Times , [40] , among others. [41]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Montreal Protocol</span> 1987 treaty to protect the ozone layer

The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. It was agreed on 16 September 1987, and entered into force on 1 January 1989. Since then, it has undergone several amendments and adjustments, with revisions agreed to in 1990 (London), 1992 (Copenhagen), 1995 (Vienna), 1997 (Montreal), 1999 (Beijing), 2007 (Montreal), 2016 (Kigali) and 2018 (Quito). As a result of the international agreement, the ozone hole in Antarctica is slowly recovering. Climate projections indicate that the ozone layer will return to 1980 levels between 2040 and 2066. Due to its widespread adoption and implementation, it has been hailed as an example of successful international co-operation. Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan stated that "perhaps the single most successful international agreement to date has been the Montreal Protocol". In comparison, effective burden-sharing and solution proposals mitigating regional conflicts of interest have been among the success factors for the ozone depletion challenge, where global regulation based on the Kyoto Protocol has failed to do so. In this case of the ozone depletion challenge, there was global regulation already being installed before a scientific consensus was established. Also, overall public opinion was convinced of possible imminent risks.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ozone layer</span> Region of the stratosphere

The ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. It contains a high concentration of ozone (O3) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere. The ozone layer contains less than 10 parts per million of ozone, while the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere as a whole is about 0.3 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 15 to 35 kilometers (9 to 22 mi) above Earth, although its thickness varies seasonally and geographically.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chlorofluorocarbon</span> Class of organic compounds

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), produced as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hydrofluorocarbon</span> Synthetic organic compounds

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic organic compounds that contain fluorine and hydrogen atoms, and are the most common type of organofluorine compounds. Most are gases at room temperature and pressure. They are frequently used in air conditioning and as refrigerants; R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) is one of the most commonly used HFC refrigerants. In order to aid the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer, HFCs were adopted to replace the more potent chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were phased out from use by the Montreal Protocol, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) which are presently being phased out. HFCs replaced older chlorofluorocarbons such as R-12 and hydrochlorofluorocarbons such as R-21. HFCs are also used in insulating foams, aerosol propellants, as solvents and for fire protection.

R-410A is a refrigerant used in air conditioning and heat pump applications. It is a zeotropic but near-azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane (CH2F2, called R-32) and pentafluoroethane (CHF2CF3, called R-125). R-410A is sold under the trademarked names AZ-20, EcoFluor R410, Forane 410A, Genetron R410A, Puron, and Suva 410A.

Environmental harmful product dumping is the practice of transfrontier shipment of waste from one country to another. The goal is to take the waste to a country that has less strict environmental laws, or environmental laws that are not strictly enforced. The economic benefit of this practice is cheap disposal or recycling of waste without the economic regulations of the original country.

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is celebrated on September 16 designed by the United Nations General Assembly. This designation had been made on December 19, 2000, in commemoration of the date, in 1987, on which nations signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. In 1994, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 16 September the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date of the signing, in 1987, of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The closure of the hole in the ozone layer was observed 30 years after the protocol was signed. Due to the nature of the gases responsible for ozone depletion their chemical effects are expected to continue for between 50 and 100 years.

Environmental governance (EG) consists of a system of laws, norms, rules, policies and practices that dictate how the board members of an environment related regulatory body should manage and oversee the affairs of any environment related regulatory body which is responsible for ensuring sustainability (sustainable development) and manage all human activities—political, social and economic. Environmental governance includes government, business and civil society, and emphasizes whole system management. To capture this diverse range of elements, environmental governance often employs alternative systems of governance, for example watershed-based management.

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) was launched by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and six countries—Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States—on 16 February 2012. The CCAC aims to catalyze rapid reductions in short-lived climate pollutants to protect human health, agriculture and the environment. To date, more than $90 million has been pledged to the Climate and Clean Air Coalition from Canada, Denmark, the European Commission, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. The program is managed out of the United Nations Environmental Programme through a Secretariat in Paris, France.

Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are a group of gases containing fluorine. They are divided into several types, the main of those are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). They are used in refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps, fire suppression, electronics, aerospace, magnesium industry, foam and high voltage switchgear. As they are greenhouse gases with a strong global warming potential, their use is regulated.

Stephen Oliver Andersen is the Director of Research at the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD) and former co-chair (1989–2012) of the Montreal Protocol Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) where he also chaired and co-chaired Technical Options Committees, Task Forces and Special Reports. He is one of the founders and leading figures in the success of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer that has phased out the chemicals that deplete the stratospheric ozone that protects the Earth against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation that causes skin cancer, cataracts, and suppression of the human immune system, destroys agricultural crops and natural ecosystems and deteriorates the built environment. Because ozone-depleting chemicals are also powerful greenhouse gases the Montreal Protocol also protected climate. Dr. Andersen was instrumental in the 2016 Kigali Amendment that will phase down hydrofluorocarbons once necessary to phase out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) fast enough to avoid ozone tipping points, but no longer necessary now that environmentally superior replacements are available or soon to be available. For his ambitious campaign saving the ozone layer, Dr. Andersen earned the 2021 Future of Life Award along with Joe Farman and Susan Solomon.

Ozone depletion and climate change are environmental challenges whose connections have been explored and which have been compared and contrasted, for example in terms of global regulation, in various studies and books.

He is considered one of the founders and leading figures in the success of the Montreal Protocol that established legally binding controls on the production and consumption of chemicals that cause ozone depletion and damage the stratospheric ozone layer which protects the Earth against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. These effects include skin cancer, sunburn, permanent blindness and cataracts as well as harm to plants and animals. The Montreal Protocol was recognized by Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations as being “perhaps the single most successful international environmental agreement to date" and went on to become the first treaty in the history of the United Nations to be universally ratified in 2008 by 197 countries.

Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP) is an evolving method to evaluate the carbon footprint and global warming impact of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (AC), refrigeration systems, and potentially other applications such as thermal insulating foam. It is calculated as the sum of direct, indirect, and embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated over the lifetime of the system “from cradle to grave,” i.e. from manufacture to disposal. Direct emissions include all climate forcing effects from the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere, including annual leakage and losses during service and disposal of the unit. Indirect emissions include the climate forcing effects of GHG emissions from the electricity powering the equipment. The embodied emissions include the climate forcing effects of the manufacturing processes, transport, and installation for the refrigerant, materials, and equipment, and for recycle or other disposal of the product at end of its useful life.
