Litigating Climate Change
What You Will Learn
This seminar addresses the implications of federal climate legislation and regulation for existing and future common law claims and cases as well as actions under the Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and state statutes. Actions discussed include common law nuisance litigation, cases in which the federal government is compelled to act, and cases defending states' rights to regulate. The panel also addresses:
Industry challenges to regulations and the defendants’ perspective on common law nuisance litigation
What new litigation is likely to arise from climate and energy reform along with related siting and land use issues
THE SERIES
This program is the 12th in a 13-part series, "Understanding the New Climate and Energy Legal Landscape," that explains the real world impact of the fast moving developments surrounding climate and energy, demystifies the key provisions and negotiating points left before Congress, and uncovers the potential windfalls and pitfalls of this highly complex restructuring of environmental and energy law. Each program is taught by those helping to craft this new regulatory regime and those examining it with a critical eye so you can understand what this new landscape will mean for clients and for your future practice. The final part of this series, "The Economics of Climate and Energy Policy," will be on February 17. Earlier parts of the series are available on-demand.
