An ELI Public Webinar
Join the Environmental Law Institute and the Pro Bono Clearinghouse for Part 11 of our Community Lawyering for Environmental Justice continuing legal education series. ELI's Clearinghouse strives to ensure that communities with viable environmental matters get the representation they need, whether in a courtroom, before an agency, or in a facilitative or consultative fashion. The Clearinghouse does this by connecting communities and individuals seeking representation with Clearinghouse members and collaborating organizations.
This installment will focus on the environmental justice implications of onshore renewable energy permitting. Covered energy technologies will include solar, onshore wind, storage, and transmission. Our expert panel will discuss challenges and opportunities in this critical field, touching on project development considerations, such as siting and public participation, as well as broader project impacts, like community access to clean and affordable energy and workforce implications.
