Is California a Canary in the Coalmine? Emerging Trends and the Future of Chemical Regulation in California
Event | 01.24.12, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC
During the last decade, the chemical industry has experienced unprecedented changes in the regulatory and litigation environment. The traditional regulatory paradigm relating to human health and environmental protection is being supplanted by more precautionary and public policy-based approaches. This shift has increased costs not only for chemical and product manufacturers, but also for downstream users dependent on specific chemicals for their products.
Our panel will explore the political, scientific and legal aspects of this paradigm shift and focus on specific burdens imposed on product manufacturers by California's Proposition 65 and Green Chemistry initiatives. Specific guidance will also be provided.

"The Tide is High New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Environmental Law Section
On December 5, 2024, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034. Jon Welner will be the moderator and will be interviewing the Executive Director of the SF Bay Conservation and Development Commission (SF BCDC), which regulates all development in or near San Francisco Bay.
