Green tech refers to technologies that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. It includes areas like renewable energy, green building materials, environmentally preferred products, and green nanotechnology. Lawyers are involved in many legal aspects of green tech like environmental law, energy regulation, intellectual property, and construction contracts. The future holds potential new legislation around issues like cap and trade systems and green building standards, as well as litigation related to green tech projects and regulations.
