Please join us for a climate policy forum hosted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IL EPA) and The Climate Registry. In the past year, we have seen a significant amount of activity surrounding climate change regulation at the state, regional and federal levels. To better understand the climate change picture, members of IL EPA, The Climate Registry, Stuart School of Business and Members of The Climate Registry will provide an overview of the current landscape and outline how companies can prepare for future regulation. The overview will dive into the following content:
- Introduction: an overview of state, regional and federal climate policy – IL EPA Director Doug Scott
- What is EPA proposing at the national level and how might it impact you – Denise Sheehan, Vice President, Government and Regional Affairs, The Climate Registry
