External Events: Fall Symposium

Protecting public health through U.S. climate action: Making sense of the shifting landscape after WV v. EPA and the Inflation Reduction Act

The GW Climate and Health Institute (CHI) held a symposium event titled, "Protecting public health through U.S. climate action: Making sense of the shifting landscape after WV v. EPA and the Inflation Reduction Act," on October 13, 2022. Senator Tom Carper delivered the keynote address, with an introduction by GW President Mark Wrighton. Two panels of experts then discussed the health and Environmental Justice implications of the Inflation Reduction Act and the WV v. EPA Supreme Court decision, as well as advancing action on multiple fronts to get the rest of the way to a healthy climate. The event recording can be found here: https://youtu.be/kBm1ORyGsME
