Alex Wang in Newsroom: UCLA Students and Faculty Participate in International Climate Talks

Three students and four faculty members from UCLA School of Law participated in international climate talks in Madrid last week, advancing their research on climate policies and observing negotiations.  The lack of federal leadership has increased pressure on U.S. states, cities and local entitites, including universities, to implement policies and programs that cut greenhouse gas pollution. At the talks, law professor Alex Wang, an expert in China’s environmental governance, and Siyi Shen, a fellow at the Emmett Institute, advanced work on coordinating California and China’s climate and air regulations.
