The Forum: Power Shift: Energy and Environmental Policy for a Changing Global Climate

Milbank Tweed Forum
Wednesday, February 3
Vanderbilt Hall, Greenberg Lounge

Following the UN Climate Change conference in Paris, an expert at the Council on Foreign Relations said, “The world finally has a framework for cooperating on climate change that’s suited to the task.”* What remains in question is the follow-through of 195 nations. The United States has adopted the Clean Power Plan, which is now being challenged in the courts. The NYU Law Magazine, for its annual roundtable, has convened Law School alumni and faculty who are experts in regulatory policy, environmental law, global climate change, and energy—from the perspectives of law, policy, economics, and industry—to explore the future of US energy and environmental policy.
