Presented live via webconference

Presented by the CBA National Business Law, National Environmental, Energy and Resources Law and National International Law Sections with the American Bar Association

A key goal of the Copenhagen climate conference was to develop agreement to strengthen and extend the Kyoto Protocol for reducing and regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The failure of the conference to produce international, or national, agreement has resulted in regional trading systems in North America, particularly on the West Coast.

Speakers will provide an update on developments since Copenhagen and discussion on the emergence of regional solutions in the absence of an international treaty, or national system in Canada or the US, for regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
