A Public ELPAR Webinar (Co-Sponsored by ELI and Vanderbilt University Law School)
To implement the massive scale of new infrastructure urgently required to achieve needed reductions in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, a new approach is called for that emphasizes decarbonization by prioritizing permitting speed and climate impact at least as much as conservation and equity. How can streamlining methods be leveraged more comprehensively and effectively to achieve these goals?
Join Professors J.B. Ruhl and James Salzman as they tackle these pressing questions in a discussion of their law review article “The Greens’ Dilemma: Building Tomorrow’s Climate Infrastructure Today” originally published in the Emory Law Journal.
Panelists:
Professor J.B. Ruhl, David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair in Law, Vanderbilt University Law School
Professor James Salzman, Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law, joint appointment with the University of California, Los Angeles Law School and the Bren School of Environmental Science Management, University of California, Santa Barbara
