Address

Crowell & Moring
590 Madison Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, NY

As the federal government steps back from aggressive environmental regulation and combating climate change, what are the implications for New York-area businesses? Join senior business leaders for a private roundtable on how:

  • State and local governments may impose and enforce environmental regulations.
  • Businesses may adapt and police their own practices to address climate change.
  • Regulatory changes may affect public and private investment in sustainable energy and innovation.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
