EPA of the Future
As the 50th Anniversary of EPA approached, the EPA Alumni Association and the American University Center for Environmental Policy undertook a two-year partnership to examine how EPA can prepare for the environmental challenges of the future. This collaboration engaged scores of alumni and partners, drawing on decades of experience to develop ideas, insights, and recommendations for strengthening environmental protection in the years ahead.
​
A centerpiece of this effort was a national conference at American University that brought together leaders from government, business, academia and environmental advocacy. Participants shared lessons learned, debated emerging issues, and considered innovative approaches for EPA to expand its capacity and effectiveness.
