Bard Center for Environmental Policy presents
National Climate Seminar: Regional Climate Action and the Paris Process
Susan Biniaz, JD, Columbia University
Wednesday, September 20, 2017
On September 20th, tune in with Susan Biniaz of Columbia University to discuss the how state and local governments are filling the leadership void left by the Trump administration when it pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement - the most wide-sweeping climate accord in history.
Susan Biniaz has been in the legal adviser’s office at the State Department since 1984.
She has been the principal lawyer on the climate change negotiations since 1989. Biniaz has worked on legal issues related to the Middle East, diplomatic law, and outer space before turning to oceans, environmental, and scientific affairs, which has remained her specialization. After heading the legal Office for European Affairs, she headed the Oceans, Environment, and Science legal office for many years before becoming a deputy legal adviser. She clerked for Judge Dorothy W. Nelson on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Biniaz attended Yale College and earned her J.D. from Columbia Law School.
