Cosponsored by the Environmental Law Institute and the American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE)
Why You Should Attend
Coming off of the hottest year on record, policymaking and enforcement are becoming increasingly important in our country’s ongoing quest to balance environmental protection with consumer and industry interests. The infrastructure legislation and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 are both seen as major steps forward for U.S. federal climate law and our efforts to reduce emissions. On the heels of those bills have been a series of pieces of guidance – related both to the implementation of those bills as well as agency guidance, including the SEC’s finalized climate disclosure rule.
With so much happening in the U.S. alone, environmental practitioners, in-house counsel, and related professionals must stay current on these rapidly developing and significant legal changes. Join our panel of environmental law experts and get up-to-date on climate change-related policy in the U.S. in 2024.
What You Will Learn
Through a roundtable discussion format, our varied panelists -- offering an array of experience in government, in-house, and private practice – will:
Take a deep dive into the Inflation Reduction Act: The key tax credits it makes available (including Section 45 Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit, the Section 48 Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credit, and tax credits for clean vehicles and clean vehicle charging ); implementation by cities and local governments; how corporations are responding and what aspects they can utilize; and carbon capture utilization and sequestration.
Discuss the revised EPA Clean Air Act section 111 rules for power plant greenhouse gasses, including the under-regulation of peakers near cities and environmental justice communities.
Explore the transportation sector decarbonization policy, law, and regulation at both the state and federal levels, including the vehicle greenhouse gas rules.
Review the SEC climate disclosure rule and rulemaking, as well as related developments in California.
Questions will be submitted live to the faculty and all registrants will receive downloadable course materials to accompany the program.

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:
