In-PersonRegional Climate Action and Health in the Wake of EPA Greenhouse Gas Rulings
Recent shifts in federal greenhouse gas policy, particularly the February 2026 EPA repeal of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding (a landmark action determining that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare), mark a pivotal moment for climate and public health. As federal protections evolve, what does this mean for air quality, health outcomes, and the role of regional leadership?
