A Conversation on Energy and Climate with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser

Please join the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines and the Getches-Wilkinson Center, CU Law School, as we welcome Phil Weiser, Colorado Attorney General, Sharon Jacobs, Associate Professor and Board Member of the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment, University of Colorado Law School, and Payne Institute Director Morgan Bazilian, presenting a webinar titled A Conversation on Energy and Climate with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser on Friday, March 26, 2021 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm (MT).

The interface between legal scholars and practitioners and policy-makers is critical to the formation of robust pathways towards a low-carbon future. To this end, we are excited to be establishing a new collaborative initiative on energy and natural resources law and policy. The partnership draws on CU Law’s strong history of excellence in energy and natural resources law, and the technical and scientific excellence at the School of Mines.

This joint CU Law-Payne Institute webinar will feature Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser. The conversation will cover the Attorney General’s involvement in challenges to federal regulations that pose an obstacle to Colorado’s ability to achieve its energy and climate goals. It will also explore the relationship between the federal and state governments and consider how the state can pursue its own ambitions. Other topics may include protection of energy consumers and the importance of equity and just transitions.
