Pamplin Society of Fellows 2019 Distinguished visiting scholar- Roby Roberts

Join Lewis & Clark Environmental Law students, faculty, staff, and alumni for our spring gathering. Refreshments and light appetizers provided. All welcome! RSVP appreciated

Tomorrow’s Energy System will discuss the hurdles preventing us from transitioning to a zero-carbon energy future and ways to overcome them. Join the Green Energy Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School as we convene elected officials, renewable energy industry leaders, policy and advocacy experts, and regulators to explore solutions from a political, business, and policy perspective. Speakers will touch on opportunities at the federal, regional, and local levels, as we explore innovative changes in technology and economics that may transform the way we generate, transmit, and use energy.

Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality is providing an opportunity for Oregonians to comment on the Trump administration’s environmental rollbacks. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to change standards for national automobile fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants.

Join progressive communities around the country in showing up and demonstrating that these rollbacks don’t represent our interests!

Professor Sarah Krakoff will be visiting Lewis & Clark Law School from September 12, 2018 to September 14, 2018, sitting in on classes, giving a public lecture, and meeting with various student organizations and faculty.

Her public lecture titled “The Roots of Environmental Injustice and the limits of Environmental Law” will be held on Thursday, September 13, 2018, at 5:30 p.m., at the Law Campus.

Air Quality by Design: Effective Air Management is the second in a series of events intended to determine what the most effective ways to protect people from air quality issues are, and to advocate for those solutions on a local level. Oregon continues to rely heavily on older diesel engines despite their severe impacts on public health, and the legislature has not prioritized diesel clean-up policies. The purpose of this event is to learn what’s worked elsewhere, and how we can advocate for effective air management on a local level. Research will be presented by the Institute for Sustainable Solutions at Portland State University and Multnomah County.
