"Then there are the new areas of law that I don’t think we even knew we were going to need. The changing climate and its impact on coastlines, for example, are raising new areas of property law issues. When we’re trying to create this whole climate-smart agriculture market, how do we work to make sure there’s inclusion? There’s this whole area of work around using this clean energy moment to lift up communities that have been left behind." Interesting Q&A with White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi on the massive legal implications of addressing climate change.
