可持续发展常务委员会
EENR可持续发展常设委员会的任务是提供方案，探索公共和私人领域的可持续发展. 我们将“可持续性”广义地定义为使经济与地球及其自然系统有限的生产和再生能力相一致的努力, and consider this concept to extend beyond the regime of federal environmental statutes and 监管s. 因此, 可持续性的定义除了社会正义之外，还包括环境和经济可持续性的两个“支柱”. If one pillar is weak then the system as a whole is ultimately unsustainable.
While compliance with environmental statutes and 监管sis a basic requirement, sustainability efforts have implications for many other areas of law and 监管, 包括分区和规划, 反垄断, 金融监管, 消费者保护, 劳动, 保险, 还有国际法. 该委员会提供了探索联邦法律的机会, 状态, 以及当地交通等方面的发展, 教育, 粮食和农业, as well as 私人 sector efforts like corporate social responsibility, 标签, 以及产品管理.

除了, 许多受管制实体认识到有必要超越法律的要求，更广泛地考虑其活动对自然资源的影响, 人类健康, 还有环境. 企业正在开发复杂的工具，以了解其活动和供应链对环境和人类的影响, 并将这些数据纳入他们的决策中.
由于联邦立法不作为成为常态——自1990年以来，国会没有颁布或实质性修改过任何重大的污染控制法规——自愿协议, 行业标准, and 状态 and local actions will remain important avenues for advancing sustainability in the United States. 委员会将探讨这些工作，以及这些工作与主要环境法例制度和其他实务范畴的关系.
