Event Synopsis: The election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States may spur important changes to federal environmental law. There have been speculations that the Trump Administration might abolish the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Changes to environmental laws, regulations and policies that facilitate growth in the coal, oil and gas economy are also expected to happen. Furthermore, in the "America First Energy Plan" posted on the official White House website, President Trump commits to eliminate the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule. Some of these anticipated changes may quickly be implemented while some may take considerable time and effort to get enforced, and others are unlikely to happen at all. However, as these changes profoundly affect businesses, it is important to stay abreast of any developments in this topic to ward off potential pitfalls. The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to analyze the latest trends and developments in environmental laws, regulations and policies under the Trump Administration. This two-hour LIVE Webcast will provide the audience with strategies to anticipate situations in which some of these policies will affect them and how to respond to a new world of environmental uncertainties. Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are: · Anticipated Changes on Environmental Laws · The "America First Energy Plan" · Environmental Litigation and Enforcement · International Environmental Priorities · Strategies for 2017 and Beyond About The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
