Greenhouse gases and endangerment to public health and welfare
Over the past several years there has been a constant stream of information and opinion relating to climate change.
- Carbon footprinting
- Risk evaluation
- Verification of carbon credits
- EPA, SEC and other GHG reporting requirements
- Pending climate change and energy-related legislation
- California and regional initiatives
- Decisions to make or defer
EPA’s decision on December 7, 2009, to act under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act was of immense importance. It had two significant findings dealing with “endangerment” and “cause or contribute”
· The Administrator found that the current and projected concentrations of the six key well-mixed greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)--in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.
· The Administrator also found that the combined emissions of these well-mixed greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution which threatens public health and welfare
Assessing the impact this will have on you, me and those we work for is not an easy task. Todd Kantorczyk, a partner with Manko, Gold, Katcher and Fox, LLP, has pulled it all together. In less than a hour you will find you have a much greater grasp on the key Clean Air Act underpinnings to EPA’s finding of endangerment and a better sense of how this will affect you as an auditor and your organization’s challenges in moving forward.
Even if you are not currently directly involved in GHG-related issues, this hour webinar is not to be missed.
