Public awareness of climate change concerns continues to grow. In addition to governmental regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change issues can arise in a number of other business contexts, including securities disclosures, land use planning, public relations and advertising claims, and others. These issues warrant careful consideration by businesses and the attorneys who advise them, whether or not they normally concern themselves with environmental matters.

Join us for a presentation and panel discussion featuring Ballard Spahr lawyers and business representatives covering:

• Climate change issues with legal implications beyond matters traditionally characterized as environmental

• How businesses do (or do not) integrate climate change considerations into the mainstream of business operations and decision-making

• Ethical issues that can arise for lawyers and others in advising on or performing business activities with climate change implications
