During Climate Week NYC, the International Advertising Association and the Global Advertising Lawyers Alliance are co-sponsoring, "Navigating the New Rules on Environmental Marketing: Perspectives from the U.S. and the E.U."
The rules governing environmental marketing are evolving rapidly around the world. With new state laws being passed in the United States, and the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive going into effect in the European Union in September, and with litigation around the world that is changing how we think about environmental marketing claims, there's a great deal that marketers need to consider before promoting the environmental benefits of their products. This program will be bring you up-to-date on the most important developments in the United States and in the European Union.
We're very pleased to have the head of the National Advertising Division, Phyllis Marcus, kick off the program with insights into how self-regulation is leading the charge in thinking about environmental marketing. We're also very pleased to have two lawyers from the E.U. joining us in New York to bring us the latest thinking from the E.U.
