EarthxConference

Wednesday, April 22, 2020 • 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

The EarthX Law and Policy Symposium brings together high-profile environmental thought leaders representing diverse perspectives—academia, environmental advocacy groups, corporations, and government—to discuss cutting edge issues of concern to corporations, the government, the public, and environmental professionals.

This year’s virtual program celebrates 50 years of Earth Day and of the EPA, and discusses, in part, the state of waters in America, the challenge of climate change, and the future of environmental law, as a lead-up to the full Symposium, which will take place at Half Earth Day on October 22, 2020 in Dallas, Texas.
