[Law-envtlcert] January 8, 9:30 AM, Room 103--Florida climate litigation panel; other events this semester

[Hannah Wiseman]

Dear students interested in Environmental, Energy, Land Use, and Natural Resources Law,

On Wednesday, January 8, from 9:30-11:00 AM in Room 103, there will be a panel addressing Reynolds v. Florida-a case seeking remedies for harms from climate change in Florida. Some of the children who are plaintiffs in the case will be at the event. I hope that you will be able to attend. If you are interested in reading any of the litigation materials prior to the event, they are located here<http://climatecasechart.com/case/reynolds-v-florida/>. Please note that only the plaintiffs will attend the panel because the defendants (the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Governor's Office) declined the invitation to participate due to a policy of avoiding comment on pending litigation.

Please also mark your calendars for additional upcoming exciting events this semester and other important dates:
