Presented by: Energy and Environmental Law Forum, Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia

Co-Sponsored by: DC Bar EENR Community; ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources; Washington Council of Lawyers; and the Environmental Law Institute


The Biden Administration has strongly focused on mitigating climate change and improving air quality in overburdened communities. What role can enforcement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) play in meeting these twin goals? Mary Greene, the new Director of EPA's powerful Air Enforcement Division, will speak to enforcement priorities, policies, and the role of enforcement in creating clear and enforceable EPA rules. Ms. Greene will be joined by panelists from the Department of Justice, the private sector, and a prominent CAA-focused NGO. Don't miss the opportunity for this discussion of the future of air pollution enforcement and how new priorities can impact climate change and environmental justice communities.
