NGO Partnerships Providing Legitimacy to Private Environmental Governance
Full text linkThe climate crisis is one of the most pressing issues our world faces today. Traditionally, the government has been the actor to facilitate change in the environmental governance realm. However, an absence in comprehensive environmental action and legislation has led to the emergence of another framework—private environmental governance. Private environmental governance allows actors from the private sector to fill the gaps of government inaction on environmental issues and lead the sustainability movement. A concern of private action is the absence of legitimacy, which can come with government action. Thus, private companies can choose to engage in partnerships with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) for their actions to have a legitimacy framework. While these business-NGO partnerships have their drawbacks, they ultimately provide a conducive foundation and system that can adapt to criticism and respond to an increase in demand for sustainable actions
The Mysterious Power of Land Use Law: Constructing a Framework Law for Climate Resilient Development
No full textThis Article introduces and explains Climate Resilient Development (CRD), which is relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a primary method of managing climate change. CRD integrates adaptation measures and their enabling conditions with mitigation to advance sustainable development for all. 1 CRD illuminates the close relationship between adaptive and mitigative development and land use law, particularly the authority delegated to local governments to regulate and incentivize private land development and conservation. The Article unveils a legal structure that is followed in most states to organize local laws that affect land development; as such, it facilitates the implementation of IPCC policies: a responsive as opposed to prescriptive approach. Case studies of effective CRD strategies are organized by relevant topics into this well-established legal framework for the consideration of municipal leaders and advocates. The conclusion considers the feasibility of the framework law, highlighting the importance of enabling conditions and marking a trail for climate management policy makers and stakeholders to follow
Eat the rich? Eat the poor: the growing disparity between corporate greed, CEO pay, and minimum wage stagnation
Full text linkThis paper analyzes the CEO to minimum wage compensation ratio between 2010-2023 in the United States. By assessing reported compensation of 30 certain disciplined U.S. publicly traded companies in the 2023 Fortune 500 and with total compensation for CEOs disclosed through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings (DEF 14A), a comparative ratio and significance study adjusted for inflation occurs. While average CEO compensation remained consistent in real value, the average CEO to minimum wage compensation ratio was above 1,000:1 for a majority of the companies and over 2,000:1 for a select few by 2023. These results indicate that the equity between these two positions does not reflect competitive markets or performance, but rather, misguided corporate governance, stock-based overstimulation, and a static federal government\u27s approach to wage offerings. Proposed policy changes include raising minimum wages, instituting required CEO pay ratios, and increased union and labor protections. Absent any changes to policy, equity within the workforce will remain unbalanced with no hope for rectification. The findings support the managerial power hypothesis and contribute to the already extensive literature championing change for executive compensation
