Join us for an insightful seminar discussing the future of sustainability, climate, and environmental policy in California and at the federal level in 2025. Among other new developments, this session will cover the environmental impacts of Project 2025, the status of federal executive orders impacting the environment and climate policy, and the viability of the Biden Inflation Reduction Act and the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure and Jobs Act (IIJA) to manage the climate crisis under the new Administration.
We will also discuss new California carbon disclosure and risk disclosure bills along with legislation regulating greenwashing with respect to the voluntary carbon credit market. These new requirements will include an analysis and implications with respect to businesses and government. In addition, the presentation will address cutting through the “green tape” to accelerate permitting green energy projects as well as implications of the recent Supreme Court’s decision overruling the Chevron deference doctrine.
