Complimentary Live 90-minute Webinar Sponsored by Latham & Watkins
Climate Change: Latest Impacts on Land Use, Water Supplies, and Energy and Infrastructure Projects
Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 9:00 am PacificNew federal and state laws—along with a spate of land use lawsuits—require that development projects now grapple with climate change. The issue arises not only with new federal and state climate change laws, but also with long-standing laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Water Code. In turn, these laws present questions about how all projects, large and small, can most efficiently satisfy new climate change mitigation requirements.
This program will address the following key issues for development projects:
- The emerging case law on NEPA's climate change requirements.
- California's new legislation, Senate Bill 97, which addresses climate change requirements and development project exemptions under CEQA.
- The recent, landmark settlement agreement between the California Attorney General and the County of San Bernardino on climate change and land use.
- Strategies for addressing climate change in water supply assessments and environmental review documents under NEPA and CEQA.
