Environmental
AgendaWith renewed focus on the environmental agenda and abroadened menu of liability, corporations and otherinstitutions are increasingly likely to be targets ofregulatory scrutiny, government investigations and evencivil suits. Whether it is climate change, which
President Biden has positioned as “the number one issue
facing humanity”, PFAS, or stormwaters, companies
and investors face expanding challenges to meet
expectations in this critical space, or face liability.
The Biden Administration already has made clear that it
will seek to apply the government’s regulatory powers in
new ways to companies not traditionally expected to be thetarget of environmental regulators and leverage the powerof agencies that historically have not focused on
environmental enforcement. At the same time, states andmunicipalities are becoming more aggressive, in many
instances creating stricter regulatory regimes than thefederal government, and filing lawsuits to force changes incorporate behavior alleged to have negative environmentalimpacts.
