Biden’s Burden: Cleaning up Trump’s environmental mess
Abstrakt
Zanim Stany Zjednoczone będą w stanie zrobić postęp w dziedzinie polityki klimatycznej czy, mówiąc ogólniej, polityce środowiskowej, nowa administracja Josepha R. Bidena musi najpierw naprawić zniszczenia dokonane przez jego poprzednika na urzędzie prezydenckim, który rozmontował działającą do tej pory politykę klimatyczną USA, wyprowadził kraj z Porozumienia Paryskiego i rozpoczął proces odbierania Agencji Ochrony Środowiska (EPA) możliwości przeciwdziałania trucicielom. Sądy blokowały niektóre z bardziej jawnych antyśrodowiskowych polityk forsowanych przez Administrację Trumpa z uwagi na naruszenia Ustawy o Procedurach Administracyjnych z roku 1946 i/lub wyraźnych postanowień zawartych w statutach o ochronie środowiska (takich jak Ustawa od Czystym Powietrzu lub Ustawa o Czystej Wodzie), ale Administracja Bidena wciąż ma wiele pracy do wykonania w tej kwestii. Do tej pory Biden już ogłosił, że USA powrócą do Porozumienia Paryskiego, jako część swoich planów nie tylko odbudowania lecz także rozszerzenia polityki klimatycznej przyjętej wcześniej przez Administrację Obamy. Niniejszy esej wyjaśnia jak Administracja Bidena planuje osiągnąć cele polityki klimatycznej, stosując w większości te same narzędzia administracyjne jakie Administracja Trumpa wykorzystała ażeby zdemontować politykę klimatyczną z czasów prezydentury Obamy. Autorzy koncentrują się, między innymi, na zaletach i wadach jakie niesie ze sobą administracyjne realizowanie celów raczej niż omawiają procesy prawne typowe dla tego obszaru
