Sustainability is becoming a household word and part of the critical agenda for the new federal administration. Both New York City and State have been in the forefront of implementing sustainability programs that encourage state agencies, public benefit corporations and authorities, and corporations to do their part to green the environment. Corporate America is rapidly recognizing the economic benefits of joining the green movement, the practical challenge of imminent federal carbon cap and trade legislation, and the marketing value in being perceived as "green." This program is an essential primer on how to help your clients for the coming legal storm of federal and state regulations.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from proven leaders regarding energy and climate change, product toxicity avoidance, and other critical developments. Government and industry experts will examine sustainability guidelines, tax and other incentives, ways businesses can position themselves to avoid liability, and much more.
