The Committee on Environmental, Energy and Natural Resources Law provides a focus within the Section of Business Law for lawyers who deal with environmental, energy and natural resources law and regulation in the business context. The Committee's activities
encompass all aspects of environmental, energy and natural resources law and regulation, inasmuch as their regulation is an integral aspect of modern business practice. Given the business law context and the business community?s increasing focus on climate change issues, the emphasis in the various areas of regulation is on its impact on corporate and other business activities and operations, including transactional issues, liability, auditing and compliance, civil and criminal policy and enforcement, insurance coverage issues, climate change law and regulation, Brownfield and other real estate development and finance aspects, lender liability/fiduciary considerations, Superfund and other remediation matters, and SEC reporting protocols and requirements (including disclosure issues associated with global warming risks and liability).
