Webinar to Examine New Climate Change Liabilities for Clean Water Utilities

Jun 12, 2018

six(June 12, 2018) - The next edition of NACWA's Hot Topics in Clean Water Law Webinar series – on June 20, from 2:00 - 3:30 PM ET – places the very latest legal ramifications of climate change front-and-center. 

In January, the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) released a new report, Climate Adaptation and Liability: A Legal Primer and Workshop Summary Report, outlining potential areas of liability arising from climate change impacts for several professions and industries, including the clean water sector.  Meanwhile, litigation is pending in several courts around the country focused on the same issues.  As always, our expert panel of attorneys will not only address these issues with you, they will help you protect your utility by identifying possible pitfalls and clear solutions to the complex legal challenges confronting the clean water sector today.

This series of free webinars are designed to provide clean water utilities with the latest insights and analysis on key clean water legal issues, as well as to offer a great opportunity to keep up with the most important developments in clean water law.

On Monday, July 23, from 2:30 – 4:00 pm ET, the Legal Affairs Committee will also meet jointly with the Climate & Resiliency Committee, during the NACWA Utility Leadership Conference & 48th Annual Meeting, in Boston, MA.  The meeting will focus on a discussion of the CLF report, the pending litigation, and how the clean water sector can respond.  The Webinar will provide a preview of the committee meeting and will feature a panel of experienced clean water practitioners discussing the issue.  

Registration for Hot Topics in Clean Water Law Webinars is free for NACWA members. Not a member? Contact Kelly Brocato for more information and registration options.
