Post-Chevron: judicial impact on U.S. climate policy // The Week in Sustainability #98

This week: – Shift in power dynamics: The Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Chevron Doctrine significantly alters the balance of power between federal agencies and the judiciary, granting courts more authority to interpret laws and potentially limiting the ability of agencies like the EPA and SEC to enact and enforce climate-related regulations without explicit congressional authorization. – Impact on climate policy: This ruling presents challenges for federal agencies, as it may lead to regulatory rollbacks and increased legal battles over climate policies. The decision could slow progress on environmental regulations and require Congress to pass more explicit legislation to empower agencies to address complex issues like climate change.
