vi Sustainable Development Code: Climate Change

Acknowledgments

Getting the Susta inable Development Code (SDC) to this point has been an

ongoing and gargantua n task for almost 10 years. e SDC is truly a n inter-

disciplinary collaboration among academics and practicing attorneys, pla n-

ners, architects, developers, local sta , and others devoted to improving the

lives of all people. Drake University Law School has spea rheaded this project

in collaboration with almost a dozen law a nd planning schools and dozens of

individuals. Without the drive and vision of many practitioners, academics,

and students, this project would be impossible.

Each of the 43 recomendations recognizes t he authors and editors who

contributed to drafting that recommendat ion. Others who have been instru-

mental to the SDC and the Climate Change chapter include Drake Uni-

versity Law School Dean Jerry Anderson, Don Elliot, Jim Hansen, John

Lorentzen, John Mitola, and Justin Platts. A special tha nks to Chris Duerk-

sen, who not only co-edited most of the briefs included in this book and

chairs the SDC Advisory Committee, but also has been the moral c ompass

of the SDC for over a decade. We also thank all the law and planning stu-

dents that are named in this book, especially SDC 2018 Summer Fellows

Tyler Adams, Brandon Hansom, Alec LeSher, and Kyler Massner. We thank

the entire team at the Environmental Law Inst itute for making this possible.

Finally, without the nancial support of Musco Lighting, Juhl Energ y,

and John Lorentzen, the SDC would simply not have been possible. In addi-

tion, RDG Planning and Design, P7 Design, and Clarion Associates L LP

have nancially supported the SDC to help make the Cl imate Change chap-

ter a reality. ank you.
