State Healthy Environment and Energy Lawyering

Everyone deserves to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and thrive on clean soil, but there is a polarized debate about how we achieve a healthy and safe environment for all. States are on the front lines of building energy resources, shifting buildings and transportation to new sources of power, and creating comprehensive policies to create a healthier future. Join us to learn first-hand about what states are doing to fill the gap being left by the federal government, as well as about career paths that go through state government.
