"The book provides a systematic assessment of how the mining and materials sector contributes to the 17 sustainable development goals set forth by the UN in 2015. The target date of 2030 for reaching these goals is considered as a benchmark but the book looks beyond considering a longer-term vision. Written by a mix of authors from developing and developed countries, the book offers coverage of environmental, economic, and social dimensions of the SDGs. Aimed at those working in minerals, mining, and materials, this work offers readers a practical vision of how these sectors can have a positive impact on meeting these vital global targets"--

Communities around the United States face the threat of being underwater. This is not only a matter of rising waters reaching the doorstep. It is also the threat of being financially underwater, owning assets worth less than the money borrowed to obtain them. Many areas around the country may become economically uninhabitable before they become physically unlivable. In Underwater, Rebecca Elliott explores how families, communities, and governments confront problems of loss as the climate changes. She offers the first in-depth account of the politics and social effects of the U.S. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which provides flood insurance protection for virtually all homes and small businesses that require it. In doing so, the NFIP turns the risk of flooding into an immediate economic reality, shaping who lives on the waterfront, on what terms, and at what cost. Drawing on archival, interview, ethnographic, and other documentary data, Elliott follows controversies over the NFIP from its establishment in the 1960s to the present, from local backlash over flood maps to Congressional debates over insurance reform. Though flood insurance is often portrayed as a rational solution for managing risk, it has ignited recurring fights over what is fair and valuable, what needs protecting and what should be let go, who deserves assistance and on what terms, and whose expectations of future losses are used to govern the present. An incisive and comprehensive consideration of the fundamental dilemmas of moral economy underlying insurance, Underwater sheds new light on how Americans cope with loss as the water rises.

Les procès climatiques se multiplient en 2020-2021, signe que l'environnement préoccupe les Suisses. Après l'Australie ou le Portugal, et d'autres habitués des incendies estivaux, l'Ouest canadien a pris feu en été 2021. Ailleurs, ce sont des inondations et même des décès qu'il faut déplorer (en Allemagne notamment). Dans ce contexte dramatique, la Journée 2020 examine les possibilités, mais aussi les limites, du droit de la responsabilité civile en tant qu'instrument de protection de l'environnement.00L'examen de ces questions pressantes a été confié à différent·e·s spécialistes - avocat·e·s ou professeur·e·s - en commençant par les aspects politiques (L. Recordon) et passant du droit public au droit privé (R. Mahaim, A. Refondini, A.-C. Favre et I. Romy), avec l'éclairage particulier du droit international (M. M. Mbengue) et le concours inattendu de la CEDH (D. Raedler), sans oublier l'assurabilité des risques environnementaux (V. Brulhart). Le présent ouvrage rassemble les contributions des intervenant.e.s et répond aux préoccupations nées des catastrophes récentes.
