About the Webinar
With the fate of federal climate legislation uncertain, many are asking, "What's next?" Key Nicholas Institute staff will lead a live, in-depth discussion with audience members about current progress toward a low-carbon economy. Our nationally recognized experts will offer an up-to-date briefing and present realistic scenarios that could lead to U.S. policies that curb the nation's greenhouse gas emissions.
Key Topics for Discussion
- What are the alternatives to federal climate legislation?
- What is happening with state and regional efforts to address emissions?
- How ill the EPA's plans to regulate greenhouse gasses through the Clean Air Act play out?
- Is federal legislation possible in the spring 2011 session of Congress?
- How will midterm elections affect the climate change agenda?
- How can business interests help drive emissions reductions?
