An ELI Public Briefing
In an effort to make our experts' information widely accessible, the Environmental Law Institute is now offering our Monthly Climate Change Briefings to the public without any fees.
Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the climate change arena is no small task. As a special service to the public, 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.
