Environmental Law Topics

Climate

State and federal laws addressing climate impacts cover topics from domestic and international carbon emissions, energy policy, carbon credit markets, reliability, resilience, adaptation, mitigation, etc. International laws and compacts impact domestic climate policy and vice versa. The topic is dynamic across all states and nations.
Environmental lawyers examine the federal and state legal issues and structures that govern mitigation and adaptation, as well as the limits of existing statutory authority.
