From Cap & Trade to Carbon Credits: A Climate Change Primer for Businesses
Tue, 07/15/2008
This informal session will deliver a primer on the Climate Change topic and help you manage all the topics at hand. Few issues are so complicated as climate change and with it slated to be a crucial business concern for decades, it is important to have a fundamental understanding about climate change and the expected legislative, regulatory and legal responses to it.
3:00 - 5:00 pm Program
5:00 - 6:00 pm Cocktails
Hosted by Scott Segal and Jeff Holmstead, two of the country's leading experts on climate change, you will walk away with a better understanding and preparation for the future, including:
- The prospects for climate change legislation in Congress.
- Key issues of concern, from cost containment to international concerns to state and federal relations.
- Implementation challenges in the regulatory context.
- Carbon disclosure requirements.
- Managing climate issues in the public sphere.
This program will be interactive in format, with Q&A encouraged. We look forward to your participation in this program and invite you to stay afterward for cocktails.
