George Mason University’s Institute for a Sustainable Earth and the Center For Climate Change Communication are co-hosting this webinar on Clean Energy, Decarbonization, and Climate Action. The increasing threats of climate change require urgent and concerted effort to mitigate atmospheric carbon emissions and strengthen adaptive capacities to climate threats in both highly industrialized and developing countries. This webinar will highlight the importance of decarbonizing the global economy, ensuring universal access to modern and renewable energy sources, and strengthening resilience to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. The speakers will address the research and practice of clean energy technology and innovation policy, the health effects of climate change, and the development of clean and renewable energy sources.
