Executive Summary
Following the environmental awakening of the late 1960鈥檚, the US Environmental Protection Agency has helped achieve remarkable environmental progress even as the U.S. population and economy have grown. The agency has led the world in setting science-based standards and promoting environmental progress through innovative policies, partnerships, and local, regional, national and international negotiations.
Environmental protection in the future, however, may require new approaches, new tools, and possibly new legal authorities.
On the eve of the Agency鈥檚 50th anniversary, this conference will consider EPA鈥檚 role in leading the nation and the world in meeting future environmental challenges. 17吃瓜在线's Center for Environmental Policy and The Washington College of Law Program on Environmental and Energy Law are co-hosting this conference,聽in cooperation with the EPA Alumni Association and the Environmental Law Institute.
