UCLA Law Review Symposium Addresses Innovation in the Global Energy Economy In November, the UCLA Law Review hosted “Toward a Clean Energy Future: Powering Innovation with Law.” This year’s symposium brought together leading environmental law experts and academics to address ways to spur technological innovation and change in the global energy economy. Panelists discussed the role that law and policy will play in transforming the global energy system and the need to develop policies that will be durable across multiple decades, yet flexible enough to respond to new information about the science of climate change. Panel topics included international innovation, demand creation through regulation and methods of balancing innovation with the protection of human health and the environment.
