The Biden Administration’s “All of Government” Approach to Environmental Policy: Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and Beyond

The Biden administration has begun putting in place a broad and aggressive environmental agenda, not only at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but across almost all executive branch agencies. This presentation will give a high-level view of the administration’s key environmental priorities and discuss how those priorities may be implemented through executive orders, regulations, guidance, and enforcement. We will also zoom in on some of the administration’s top priorities—climate change and environmental justice—and discuss how those policies have been shaped by Trump-era regulations and litigation and how they are likely to change going forward.
