The 2017 UC Davis Environmental Law Symposium will explore California’s role as a prominent national and international climate leader by bringing together legal and policy authorities from government agencies, academia, business, industry, nonprofit organizations, private practice, and communities. The day-long event will feature panels addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with California’s bold new climate legislation; the relationship between climate change, agriculture, and water scarcity; strategies to promote zero emission vehicles and alternative transportation systems; and the future of our state’s distinctive climate change “foreign policy.” As part of the discussion each panel will address the potential impacts of President Trump’s political agenda on California climate law and policy.
