A conversation with Laura Robb (WashU Law Interdisciplinary Environmental Clinic), Laura Turner (American Lung Association), and James Owen (Renew Missouri), with guest moderator, Heather Navarro (Midwest Climate Collaborative)
Recent shifts in federal greenhouse gas policy, particularly the February 2026 EPA repeal of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding (a landmark action determining that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare), mark a pivotal moment for climate and public health. As federal protections evolve, what does this mean for air quality, health outcomes, and the role of regional leadership?
This timely conversation will bring together experts in environmental law, public health, and clean energy policy to explore:
- The implications of recent EPA regulatory changes
- The health impacts of weakened emissions standards
- Opportunities for state and regional climate action
- Strategies to protect vulnerable communities and advance equitable solutions
Please join us for this important and forward-looking discussion.
This webinar is brought to you by WashU SPH Policy & Structural Solutions Research Network in collaboration with the SPHERE (Solutions through Planetary Health Research) Research Network.
