Each summer, ELI convenes a complimentary seminar series that offers an introduction to the legal and policy foundations of environmental protection in the United States. ELI's Summer School is a series of seminars taught by experts in their fields, introducing the audience to important areas of environmental law. Faculty will also incorporate major regulatory and judicial updates to the laws.
Environmental Justice
Although no federal environmental justice laws have been enacted in the United States, federal agencies have made staunch efforts to adopt environmental justice into policies and practices. The Biden Administration has implemented several environmental justice initiatives, including the White House Environmental Justice Interagency Council, the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, the Justice40 Initiative, the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, and more.
This session of Summer School will explore the foundations of environmental justice as well as recent federal developments, current opportunities for environmental and climate justice policies, and obstacles facing environmental justice. Faculty will discuss:
- the history of environmental justice;
- the Biden Administration’s environmental justice initiatives;
- how state, tribal, and local governments are addressing environmental justice; and
- methods for engaging multiple stakeholders in environmental justice conversations and processes.
