With
President Trump’s
intensified attacks on
climate policy during
his second term,
lawsuits challenging
U.S. federal actions
drove global climate
litigation, a new
analysis shows.

Sweeping
revisions to U.S.
climate policy in the
first year of
President Donald
Trump’s second term
have spawned a wave of
protective litigation,
legal challenges aimed
not at advancing new
climate goals but at
preventing the
rollbacks of existing
regulation and
preserving hard-won
legal gains.
 
In
a landmark climate
case against
TotalEnergies, the
court said the company
could not hide behind
consumers and needs to
account for the full
range of its
emissions, including
those from the use of
its products.
By
Dana Drugmand
A
French court on
Thursday ruled that the oil major TotalEnergies must
take responsibility
for the full scope of
greenhouse gas
emissions across its
supply chain—including
emissions from
customers’ use of its
products.
In
“Ribbons of Green,”
John Fleck and Robert
Berrens examine the
institutions that
turned a rural valley
into modern
Albuquerque. Their new
history comes as the
city contends with a
drying Rio Grande.

In
“Ribbons of Green: The
Rio Grande and the
Making of Modern
Albuquerque,” John
Fleck and Robert P.
Berrens explore
Albuquerque’s
relationship to the
Rio Grande. The
co-authors,
collaborators at the
University of New
Mexico (UNM), chart
the history of
institutions that
changed how residents
relate to the river
and its physical path
through the valley.
Fleck and Berrens
explain how the Rio
Grande was managed to
allow “ribbons of
green” to run through
arid New Mexico.
Kevin
Lilly, a
Trump-appointed wealth
manager, has been on
the job in an acting
capacity for almost a
year despite no prior
confirmation.
By
Gabriel Matias
Castilho
When
President Donald Trump
nominated Kevin Lilly
last year to oversee
management of the
nation’s wildlife
refuges and national
parks, conservation
advocacy organizations
raised concerns over
how his lack of public
lands experience would
impact the Department
of the Interior’s
conservation
commitments.
