What Does the Recent Supreme Court Ruling on the Chevron Doctrine Mean for Climate and Energy Policy?
July 18 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
In one of its final decisions of this term, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to overturn the Chevron Doctrine. The Chevron Doctrine, established forty years ago, stated that courts must defer to reasonable agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Legally, the Chevron Doctrine has been critically important and has been cited in thousands of court decisions, including seventy Supreme Court decisions. Many have written that this decision will hamper the ability for agencies to act, especially on emerging and rapidly changing issues like climate change. What will this decision mean for climate change, energy, and environmental policy in the coming years and decades?
