State & International Climate Obligations in a Post Federal Framework
As EPA rolls back key federal greenhouse gas rules, many organizations are seeing heightened climate-related risk from stricter state, local, and international requirements. International climate agreements can also influence national obligations and enforcement priorities.
This webinar reviews emerging compliance pressures, enforcement trends, and practical steps for managing climate obligations in a post-federal framework. We will also discuss how international climate agreements may intersect with US regulatory approaches and related agency actions.
The discussion is designed to help in-house counsel and compliance leaders align internal policies with evolving state standards, cross-border requirements, and long-term climate obligations under both public law and private governance initiatives.
Coming soon
Invitation-only client dinners in select cities focused on practical implications of the endangerment finding rescission and next-step risk planning.

Roundtable discussion | February 25, 2026
This on-demand program explains EPA’s decision to rescind the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding and roll back federal vehicle greenhouse gas standards—and why the change is a significant legal development across regulated sectors.
Speakers walk through the rule’s legal rationale, expected court challenges, and what the shift could mean for regulated industries, state climate programs, and international obligations. The discussion also covers practical considerations for climate-risk management and climate-related disclosures.
Key topics
- Rescission of the 2009 endangerment finding: what the withdrawal means for vehicle standards, potential ripple effects for other sectors, and key areas to watch.
- Clean Air Act authority: how EPA is interpreting its authority and how key definitions may shape future greenhouse gas regulation.
- Key Supreme Court cases: implications of Massachusetts v. EPA, West Virginia v. EPA, and Loper Bright for the scope of regulation and the federal-state balance.
- Current and future legal challenges: likely arguments, expected timelines, and how courts may approach questions of statutory interpretation and agency authority.
- Impacts beyond vehicle standards: possible effects on power plants, oil and gas operations, aircraft engines, and interactions with state programs and compliance planning.
