This has been a year of significant change for environmental law at the federal, state, and local level—from NYSDEC’s revised freshwater wetlands regulations and associated legal challenges, changes to NEPA review, and updates to PFAS regulation, to shifts in electric vehicle incentives, climate litigation in New York, NYCDOB’s new energy storage system rules, and more.  

This year, we were also thrilled to share the launch of SPR’s new podcast, SPRingBoard, where we’ve gotten to explore an array of pressing issues in environmental law, starting the year with an episode on anticipated changes to environmental law and policy under a second Trump presidency, and moving to topics including the evolving intersection of construction and sustainability, the marine carbon dioxide removal legal landscape, and PFAS regulatory developments.   

We’re grateful that you’ve joined us, and we look forward to connecting in 2026. 

Happy New Year!
