\"PhotoThe climate crisis has taken on new urgency in Washington — from proposed green job creation to significant changes in energy and climate policies.<\/p>\n

Metcalf Institute hosted a virtual Leeson Lecture<\/em><\/a> to explore these issues on April 20, at 1 p.m. ET, featuring Jody Freeman<\/span>, the Archibald Cox Professor of Law and director of the Environmental and Energy Law Program at Harvard University. What are the challenges for the Biden Administration as it moves to advance its climate agenda? How will those policies affect you?<\/p>\n

The Leeson Lecture<\/em> was established as part of our June Annual Public Lecture Series. The lecture honors Robert Leeson, Jr., a former Metcalf advisory board member and tireless advocate for Metcalf Institute. We’re pleased to announce that your donations have made it possible for us to bring you two Leeson Lectures this year!<\/p>\n

Freeman<\/span> is a leading scholar of administrative and environmental law and has written extensively about climate change, environmental regulation and executive power. She served as counselor for energy and climate change in the Obama White House, where she designed the president\u2019s historic agreement with the auto industry to double fuel efficiency standards and set the first federal greenhouse gas standards, which launched the Obama administration\u2019s climate program under the Clean Air Act. Known for her early work on public-private approaches to regulatory problems, she has been recognized as the second-most cited scholar in public law in the nation.<\/p>\n
