An ELI Members 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:
- The presidential transition as it affects climate and energy
- State updates
- California legislature special session
