Over the course of three days, the Environmental Law Collaborative (ELC) convened in Briarcliff Manor, New York to discuss “Blue Sky Thinking in a Red Sky World.” The ELC comprises a rotating group of law professors who assemble every other year to think, discuss, and write on an important and intriguing theme in environmental law. This year, the group focused on how to think optimistically and proactively about environmental protection when so much is going so quickly in the opposite direction.
