An ELI Member Briefing
Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the climate change arena is no small task. As a special service to our members (also available to non-members for a fee), the Environmental Law Institute provides a series of monthly webinars with national experts on climate law and policy to keep you up to date with short presentations about various sectors, along with time at the end for discussion between the panelists and to answer audience questions.
Topics to be addressed in this month's briefing:
- Two recent EPA final rules for passenger vehicles and trucks
- New state legislation (introduced in CA and VT) requiring fossil fuel companies and other polluters to pay damages with regard to climate change
- Litigation challenging the SEC's regulation on climate disclosures
- Two decisions striking down a Federal Highway Administration rule requiring states to establish declining targets for carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles
- A decision upholding the Bureau of Land Management's NEPA review of oil and gas lease sales
- A decision upholding the decision not to delist the Arctic ringed seal as an endangered species, where the endangerment was caused by climate change
