Wrapping up our Top Ten Current Watch List with #1!
#1: This article is written by Logan Keen. Logan is a second-year student at Vermont Law & Graduate School pursuing both Juris Doctorate and Master of Environmental Law & Policy degrees. He received a B.A. in Political Science and Psychology from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a native of southern Louisiana, Logan grew up witnessing firsthand the environmental degradation resulting from unchecked exploitation of natural resources in his home state. His desire to work on climate change issues can be traced back to two events: the 2005 devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which opened his eyes both to the immediacy of climate change impacts and the inherent risks of continued reliance on dirty fossil fuels.
Logan currently serves as a Teaching Assistant for Civil Procedure and Legal Research & Writing, a mentor with the Academic Success Program, Vice President of the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, and a Staff Editor with the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law. In his spare time, Logan enjoys cooking, reading, and exploring the Vermont outdoors. He hopes one day to work in the international legal space around climate finance and loss & damage, with a focus on ocean-based solutions and adaptation for coastal communities.
