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.

Topics to be addressed in this month's briefing:

  • Recent reconciliation bill and its implications for clean energy
  • Diamond Alternative Energy v. EPA -- Supreme Court decision finding fuel producers have standing to challenge California waiver
  • Center for Biological Diversity v. EPA -- DC Circuit decision invalidating EPA's analysis of climate impacts of renewable fuel standards rule
  • Center for Biological Diversity v. EPA -- 9th Circuit decision largely upholding BLM authorizations for Willow Project in Alaska
  • White Hat v. Murrill -- 5th Circuit decision rejecting constitutional challenges to Louisiana's Infrastructure Trespass Statute
  • Several lawsuits challenging Trump administration cancellation or freeze of various kinds of grants
  • AGs' letter on EJ initiatives
  • State-level legal updates
