The Twelfth Natural Resources Symposium, Natural Resources at a Crossroads, Presented Virtually
SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 — On September 17, the Twelfth Natural Resources Symposium, Natural Resources at a Crossroads, was presented virtually for the first time. This year’s focus was on private and public sector collaboration and management of natural resources and in the midst of the recent health emergency, climate change, the EU Green Deal, judicial decisions, and other influences.
There was also discussion about ongoing and prospective industry and government trustee collaboration in the natural resource damage assessment arena. Featured speakers included Roger Martella (GE), Lynn Scarlett (TNC), and NOAA’s own Admiral Gallaudet.
This symposium was led by the Ad-Hoc Industry Natural Resource Management Group in cooperation with the Environmental Law Institute, George Washington University Law School, and George Washington University Environmental and Energy Management Institute. The Symposium is a forum that involves multi-stakeholder review of natural resource related policies and practices both within and outside the United States.
