Hi all,

Take a look at this opportunity below!

This is a terrific climate regulation program on UCLA's campus on Mar 14, bringing in experts from around the country to talk about CA regulation under AB 32 and US climate regulation under the Clean Air Act.  It's an expensive program but there are 10 *free* student passes for the first 10 students to email with interest.

Navigating Climate Regulation on Dual Tracks: The Promises and Pitfalls of AB32 and the Clean Air Act


Friday, March 14, 2014
9:30 am to 3:15 pm
Robin and Albert Carnesale Commons, UCLA
251 Charles E. Young Dr. West, Los Angeles, CA 90095

Keynote Address by Mary Nichols,
Chairman of the California Air Resources Board


Why You Should Attend
Regulation of greenhouse gases is moving forward in the United States, with the most prominent efforts underway on at least two separate tracks. California is implementing A.B. 32 and related legislation while the federal government is moving forward with greenhouse gas regulations under the Clean Air Act.

This practitioners' workshop highlights recent legal developments in both areas and investigates how this system of dual regulation will unfold. What are the pitfalls, synergies, and uncertainties of climate regulation developing in these two different ways?

What You Will Learn
The workshop will look at issues such as:

 *   the new AB 32 scoping plan;
 *   the effect of California's low carbon fuel standard being upheld;
 *   the role of California's cap-and-trade program, including a litigation update, discussion of the new linkage with Quebec, and the development of the auctions and secondary allowance markets;
 *   developments under the federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration and New Source Performance Standards programs;
 *   ways that federal requirements for large stationary sources will interact with state law requirements in California; and
 *   lessons federal and other state regulators may take from California's experience.

Who Should Attend
The workshop is intended for those wanting to understand the cutting edge of greenhouse gas regulation in the United States.
