A Conversation with Professor Dan Esty
More than thirty years ago, one of the cornerstones of environmental law was laid at Yale Law School when Gus Speth ’69 (now dean of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies) and a group of his classmates gathered in the Law School dining hall and started sketching out what would become the Natural Resources Defense Council. Today, Yale Law School continues to build on its strong tradition of environmental law.
At the forefront of this next generation is Dan Esty ’86, Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy at Yale Law School and the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
In the Winter 2009 issue of the Yale Law Report, Professor Esty discusses, among other things, the new data-driven approach to environmental law and his belief in putting innovation and the resources of the private sector at the heart of the search for clean energy.
