Environmental Policies under an Obama Administration: Is Change in the Air?

By Philip Gass, John Drexhage on February 3, 2009
The day after Barack Obama's November 4, 2008, election victory, EM asked leaders within the Air & Waste Management Association and the environmental community for their initial thoughts on what a new administration might mean to the environmental industry, particularly in terms of new policies and regulations.

This article captures those responses, and includes a co-written contribution from IISD Project Officer Philip Gass, and Director of Climate Change and Energy, John Drexhage. Their piece begins on page 13 of the article.
