With California and the US EPA aggressively moving forward with rulemaking, prospects for a federal climate change bill in doubt, and AB 32 coming under attack—uncertainty abounds. Climate change efforts are focusing on states, federal agencies and the courts.

• What is the outlook for federal legislation and EPA rulemaking?
• What new requirements are emerging under the Clean Air Act and other regulatory programs?
• What is the future of cap and trade?
• How are the courts grappling with nuisance litigation and CEQA suits?
• Is California's climate change future dependent upon the pending race of Brown vs. Whitman?
• What AB-32 driven regulations are already impacting California?
• What factors are shaping renewable power's role in California's carbon restricted future?
• What are companies doing to comply with SEC policies on climate disclosure?
• How are companies preparing for potential new climate regulation, litigation, and low-carbon product demands?
