In the fall of 2011, Professor Katrina Wyman taught Natural Resources Law and co-taught Advanced Environmental Law with Michael Livermore.

During 2011-2012, Professor Wyman’s research focused on the the desirability of developing a comprehensive legally binding multilateral instrument to address human migration due to climate change.   While Professor Wyman argues that existentially threatened island nations represent a compelling and distinct case, she joins others in advising against prioritizing the development of a comprehensive legally binding multilateral instrument concerning climate change migration, and emphasizes the potential of a series of legal and policy measures to address the issue.

This past year Professor Wyman also pursued her longstanding interest in New York City taxi medallions, a valuable form of property that resembles the licenses and permits at the heart of cap and trade programs sometimes used to regulate air pollution and fisheries.
