Since inauguration day, the Biden Administration has acted swiftly to put public lands at the forefront of its climate agenda. In Utah, 67 percent of the state comprises federal lands. From the “pause” on federal oil and gas leasing to the 30x30 goal of conserving at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030, now laid out in the “Conserving and Restoring America the Beautiful” report, these policy changes will affect how we work and recreate in Utah.
Holland & Hart invites you to join our panel of public lands experts involved in navigating the policy, legal, and business impacts of these regulatory shifts in Utah. This engaging discussion will explore the obstacles and opportunities of the Biden Administration’s climate agenda on resource development on Utah’s public lands.
