Webinar: New Opportunities to Combat Climate Change

Tuesday, March 29, 2022, 12 pm MT

 

Outdoor companies came together last year in record numbers to express support for historic investments to combat climate change contained in the Build Back Better plan (BBB). While the House passed this ambitious proposal, action in the Senate stalled and 2021 ended without this legislation making it to the president’s desk. As we look ahead to the legislative agenda for 2022, the urgency for acting on climate will only increase. It is more important than ever for outdoor businesses to step up the plate and help get BBB across the finish line.

Join OIA and OIA members for a refresher on the key climate provisions in BBB – from a Civilian Climate Corps and natural climate solutions to accelerating the transition to renewable energy – and learn how you and your company can be advocates for the planet and complete the work on BBB.

Wednesday, February 23, 2022, 1 pm MT In December, President Biden signed into law legislation that will place additional restrictions on imports of goods made from forced labor from China. The “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act” establishes a “rebuttable presumption” that any goods imported from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China are by tainted forced labor and are therefore prohibited from entry into the United States. This rebuttable presumption will go into effect on June 21, 2022. In the meantime, the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force will hold a public comment period and a public hearing in which stakeholders can weigh in on the development of a forced labor enforcement strategy. Join OIA and our trade counsels from Sorini Samet & Associates to learn more about the major provisions of the new law, the enforcement strategy development process, and how OIA and your business may participate in the public comment period.
