Local leaders have been discussing the implications of a second Trump term for Bay Area environmental laws, preparing for prolonged litigation to protect climate regulations.
During Trump's first term, California engaged in numerous environmental legal battles, achieving policy reversals and favorable rulings against federal efforts to deregulate emissions and water rules.
