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:
- North Dakota v. U.S. Department of the Interior -- Enjoining enforcement of BLM's waste prevention rule concerning gas flaring
- US v. Hart -- Defendant pleads guilty to illegally importing hydrofluorocarbons
- LFF IV Timber Holding Co. v. Heartwood Forestland Fund IV -- Denial of motions to dismiss indemnification claims brought by companies that bought timberlands to serve as carbon offset credits
- California Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition v. Air Resources Board -- Dismissal of challenge to California Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation
- Conservation law Foundation v. Moore -- Citizen suit alleging that Vermont has failed to comply with the state's Global Warming Solutions Act
- People v. Exxon Mobil -- Suit by California against Exxon over plastic pollution and allegedly misleading comments about greenhouse gas reduction benefits of "advanced recycling"
- ...and more!
