The Pace of the Transition to an Environmentally Sustainable Economy

We need to focus less on dramatic gestures and symbols demonstrating commitment and more on operational reality if we are to truly speed the transition and reduce long-term, irreversible damage to the planet.
Pivoting on Greenhouse Gas Regulation

Action will now need to focus on state and local governments along with powerful corporations and institutions to continue forward motion in the transition to environmental sustainability.
Reality and the Court’s Political Reality

The political agenda-setting process and the ensuing political reality cannot be divorced from economic, social, and cultural forces. The Supreme Court will find its legitimacy reduced if it does not accommodate that reality.
The Supreme Court and Radical Environmental Deregulation

We may soon see a radical anti-regulatory Supreme Court dismantling well-established regulatory practices and endangering America’s environmental quality.
Congestion Pricing is Stuck in New York’s Political Traffic

The subway system requires new signals, switches, cars, and expanded routes. While congestion pricing can’t pay for all of that, it can help.
Back to the Office

Effective management now requires an understanding of the importance of place to organizational mission and strategy.
Environmental Sustainability as a Business Opportunity and Risk

Consumers, businesses, and governments are paying more attention to the environment today than they did yesterday. They will also be paying more attention to environmental sustainability tomorrow than they do today.
Graduation Ceremonies Return to the Real World

The reappearance of caps, gowns, hoods, paper diplomas, and smiling friends and families provide continuity and reassurance. I am happy that I got to see that once again, last week.
Greenwashing Decarbonization

Better renewable energy technology will make greenwashing an idiotic strategy, and audited disclosure rules would make carbon-related greenwashing illegal.
