We welcome you to join us for the annual Ecology Law Quarterly’s Environmental Awards banquet on Tuesday, April 16th from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at the Bancroft Hotel. The annual Environmental Awards Banquet is a highlight of Berkeley Law’s energy and environmental law program and community. Ecology Law Quarterly (ELQ) is the nation’s premier student-edited law journal focusing on environmental, natural resource, and energy issues. Our Environmental Leadership Award winner this year is Julia Olson, Executive Director and founder of Our Children’s Trust, who prevailed in a landmark lawsuit against the state of Montana, in which 16 youth sued to enforce the state’s constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment. Her work is inspiring a new wave of climate litigation demanding that governments preserve the environment for future generations.

“Understanding Wildfire Impacts in California — Far More than Acres Burned”

Wednesday, April 17, 2024Flyer for the UCCS talk over a navy blue background
12:0 – 1:00 PM (Pacific)
How are wildfires impacting California, and how are those impacts evolving? This question is integral to how we respond to wildfires, yet answering it poses a significant challenge as essential data of wildfire impacts remain untracked and unreported. Join UCCS and CLEE for “Understanding Wildfire Impacts in California—Far More Than Acres Burned,” a discussion on California’s Year in Fire project and advancing a framework that uses more robust data to inform more meaningful solutions.
