Product Description

Keeping current with regulatory and policy developments at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is essential for environmental lawyers and many real estate lawyers. The new gubernatorial administration brought an increased focus on climate change with the creation of the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience, with a mission to bring a whole-of-government approach to the climate crisis. Clients with property or businesses subject to environmental regulation are particularly affected by initiatives at MassDEP. This new program provides critical insights into how increased emphasis on resilience, environmental justice, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, as well as new developments in traditional environmental protection programs, may impact your clients.
