| Notes | The legal system often seems to change more slowly than the social and environmental milieu in which it functions. It is encouraging to find good minds looking at the problems caused by climate change and their repercussions on the legal system. In this article, the authors offer some practical advice Oregonians can use to adjust their laws to climate change. “We examine two aspects of that response. The first concerns planning and regulation of land, and the second concerns the effects of climate change on property law. We suggest that traditional property law doctrines, such as reliction, avulsion, property boundaries, and public easements should be reexamined in the light of this crisis” (p.239). If we are to adapt to climate change, our institutions must adapt, and forward-looking publications like this will help. |
