The Attorney General Alliance is excited to host the Environmental & Energy Stewardship Summit on March 1-3, 2023, in Seattle, Washington. The summit will advance analytical thinking and approaches to environmental decision-making across disciplines, sectors, and scales. As a bipartisan leader, the AG Alliance aims to foster discussion and collaboration on environmental law and policy issues at the local, regional, national, and global levels. During this summit, experts will discuss sustainability and proactive stewardship in managing our natural resources and environmental footprint. We will further discuss the critical role played by the corporate sector in advancing sustainability and how to integrate sustainable practices into business operations.

Thank you to everyone who participated in last week’s Anti-Human Trafficking Summit. The panel discussions and programming would not have been as informative and compelling without the passion of our AGs, their staff, the non-profit community, and private sector partners who brought expertise, advice, and practical solutions to the problems we all face. A special thanks to Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes for hosting the Summit. We look forward to continuing to collaborate and work toward the eradication of human trafficking.
