SUMMARY:Private Equity and Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:The decarbonization goals set by national governments and international alliances require massive capital\, much of it to come from private funds.  Private capital\, however\, does not get invested to achieve policy goals\, it gets invested to earn returns.  Our panel of experts will discuss the role and opportunities for private equity in the energy transition\, the return expectations of investors\, policies that facility (or impede) the flow of private capital\, and the transition of legacy energy-focused private equity firms themselves in their investment strategies. \n  \nModerator \nRobert Seber\, Partner\, Vinson & Elkins LLP; Adjunct Professor\, NYU School of Law \n  \nPanelists \nEliot C. Cotton\, General Counsel\, Decarbonization and Credit\, Riverstone LLC \nDiana Glassman\, ESG Leader & Director-Engagement\, EOS at Federated Hermes \nAdam Klein\, Partner & Head of Climate Strategies\, Crestview Partners \nMargaret E. Peloso\, Lead Sustainability Partner\, Vinson & Elkins \nTim Rebhorn\, Managing Partner\, EnCap Energy Transition \n  \nRegister here. \n  \n\nThis event has been made possible by the generous support of Vinson & Elkins LLP. \n \n

SUMMARY:Next Generation Building Performance Regulation
DESCRIPTION:In late January\, the Biden Administration announced the launch of a new “Building Performance Standards Coalition” of cities and states that are working to reduce buildings’ contribution to global change. If successful\, the coalition could pave the way for a new wave of local building regulation. As cities and states embark on the process of designing new policies\, it is critical to take stock of how early experiences with building performance standards in cities like New York City and Washington DC should inform the structure of the next generation of policies. At this upcoming event\, experts with first-hand insight into the early building performance standards will share their advice for the policies to come. \n  \nSpeakers: \nKatrina Wyman (Introductory Remarks)\, Sarah Herring Sorin Professor of Law\, New York University School of Law \nKatie Bergfeld\, Branch Chief\, Building Performance & Enforcement\, Data & Benchmarking Division\, Department of Energy & Environment \nMark Chambers\, Senior Director for Building Emissions and Community Resilience\, Council on Environmental Quality\, Executive Office of the President \nJasmine Graham\, Energy Justice Policy Manager\, WE ACT for Environmental Justice \nFrank Oswald\, Building Commissioner\, City of St. Louis\, Missouri \nBen Silverman\, Manager\, Policy Design and Implementation\, Institute for Market Transformation \nMarc Zuluaga\, Co-CEO & Co-Founder\, Cadence OneFive \nDanielle Spiegel-Feld (Moderator)\, Executive Director\, Frank J.

SUMMARY:Counting What We Consume: How Cities Can More Accurately Count Their Contributions to Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:When U.S. cities estimate the greenhouse gas emissions for which they are responsible\, cities tend to focus on the emissions that come from activities within their borders and from generating electricity to meet local needs. This approach undercounts cities’ contributions to climate change because it leaves out the GHG emissions that come from the production of goods elsewhere that cities import for consumption or use in their borders\, such as food and construction materials.  This means that the existing local inventories of GHG emissions provide local policymakers – and residents – with a partial picture of how cities are contributing to climate change\, and thus an incomplete basis for local climate mitigation policy. \nThe new mayoral administration in New York City has an opportunity to modernize the city’s approach to counting the city’s GHG emissions\, and broaden climate policy\, by incorporating estimates of GHG emissions from the city’s consumption of goods produced elsewhere.  The administration also may have an incentive to update the city’s approach to inventorying local GHG emissions because the mayor stated during the campaign that the city should “track its emissions from food procurement and consumption.” \nThis panel will discuss the importance of updating local GHG inventories to include emissions from products imported into the city\, and how local governments can estimate these emissions. Panelists will include people who have undertaken consumption based inventories for local governments\, such as San Francisco\, and supply-chain analyses of the GHG emissions from local government procurement on the west coast. \n  \nPanelists \nAaron Toneys is a Senior Associate at Good Company\, which is based in Eugene\, Oregon; he has conducted analyses of the GHG emissions associated with local government procurement as well as other sustainability analyses. \nDr. Chris Jones is Director of the CoolClimate Network at UC Berkeley\, where he has led the development of increasingly sophisticated methodologies for undertaking consumption-based greenhouse gas accounting and completed such accountings for San Francisco. \nJonathan Rosenbloom is a Professor of Law at Vermont Law School who published a law review article in 2021 arguing that cities should undertake consumption-based inventories to provide an accurate picture of their contributions to climate change. \nLingxi Chenyang is Environmental Law Fellow at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University; she has argued that climate mitigation policy should include reducing meat consumption. \nNilang Gor is a co-founder of Berkeley-based Cultivate Empathy for All and a board member of the California Plant-based Alliance. \nRoss MacWhinney is a Senior Advisor at the NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice and an expert in greenhouse gas emissions accounting. \n  \n\n
