Join moderator David Guggenheim, coordinator of the MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy program, for a discussion of the recent sweeping changes to U.S. environmental policy – from regulatory rollbacks and shifts in federal agency priorities to consequential decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Panelists Daniel Stone and Pam Lee will share insights into how states, organizations, communities, and individuals are navigating and responding to this rapidly shifting environmental landscape.
