    CLIMATE COMPLIANCE VS ACTION 2023: AN UPDATE ON "BUY CLEAN", EMISSIONS, EPDS, AND FUNDING.

    February 1st at Noon Eastern Time. Click to Register.  


    With merely 7 years remaining to meet 2030 emission targets, where do we stand with new policies and legislation? Are we on track to thwart global warming? Reducing embodied carbon has become mainstream; Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have surfaced as the tool. 'Buy Clean' regulates embodied carbon and requires Environmental Product Declarations. Are EPDs alone enough? Is the compliance timeline sufficient?

    The Inflation Reduction Act and Federal Buy Clean Initiative have inspired states and municipalities to regulate embodied carbon (Scope 3). Join the Environmental Law Institute and expert panelists for an update on Buy Clean policy, green funding, the status of carbon emissions, and a primer on EPDs - followed by an audience Q&A.
