EPIC’s Clean Air Program has launched a new series of conversations sparked by EPIC Air Quality Fund Awardees, on subjects like new tools, real-world lessons, and emerging opportunities and collaborations in the air quality space. In this session, Vermont Law & Graduate School’s Rachel Westrate shared her work with the CCAC on drafting model air and climate pollution legislation—a customizable template drawn from a global analysis of air quality laws.
The discussion explores what makes air quality legislation effective, common gaps in existing frameworks, and how the experiences of EPIC Air Quality Fund Awardees working across diverse regulatory contexts can help shape this resource.
