SUMMARY:Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series: Measuring Vulnerability & Building Equitable Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Extreme weather events are among the most dangerous shocks that plague cities and are becoming increasingly common as a result of climate change\, impacting people’s livelihood and well-being\, especially the most vulnerable. In 2022 alone\, the catastrophic extreme weather and climate disasters that impacted the United States are estimated to have cost at least $1 billion each\, according to a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). \nFor the first Cities on the Frontline Speaker Series of 2023\, jointly organized by the Resilient Cities Network and the World Bank\, they will have R-Cities Regional Director for North America\, Laurian Farrell; David Nash\, Senior Manager for Climate Change and Partnerships at the Z Zurich Foundation; and Jordana Vasquez\, Program Manager for R-Cities’ flagship program on flood and heat resilience\, Resilience for Communities (R4C). R4C is designed to strengthen climate resilience and address social inequities at the community level\, by looking at the question of how we define resilience at the community level\, and perhaps most crucially\, who gets to define resilience. During the session\, they will discuss the community-focused methodology behind implementation\, track current progress in Houston\, and share some of the lessons we have learned so far. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Transforming the Clean Energy Workforce: Insights from the 2022 C3E Award Winners
DESCRIPTION:Clean energy is clearly the way of the future and one of the fastest-growing and most innovative sectors in our economy. We are witnessing a sea change whereby top talent are combining their professional skills with a drive to shape an inclusive clean energy future. Our country and the world need the best\, brightest\, and passionate leaders to further the development and deployment of clean energy technologies\, businesses\, policies\, and capital. This webinar will feature women-leaders who are doing just that. \nThe recent C3E award winners are an exemplary group of women leaders who are driving scientific breakthroughs\, increasing energy access\, improving electric power systems\, and investing in groundbreaking technologies that will facilitate the clean energy transition. This webinar will highlight the incredible work of four C3E 2022 award winners\, their career pathways\, and their visions for career opportunities in the clean energy sector. A virtual networking event with speakers will immediately follow the session to answer your questions and give advice on clean energy career paths. \nModerator\nEllen Morris\, Director\, University Partnerships Program\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory\nC3E Ambassador \nPanelist\nSarah Bieber\, Head of Energy Partnerships\, Acumen\nC3E 2022 International Award Recipient \nPanelist\nY.

SUMMARY:Briefing: 2022 California Green Innovation Index
DESCRIPTION:Join Next 10 and Beacon Economics for a briefing to discuss the findings of the 14th annual California Green Innovation Index\, primarily digital for the first time to allow readers to learn and interact with the findings of the report at https://greeninnovationindex.org. The briefing will be paneled by F. Noel Perry (Founder) and Stephanie Leonard (Director of Research) from Next 10 and Patrick Adler (Manager of Sustainable Growth and Development) from Beacon Economics. \nCalifornia’s greenhouse gas emission fell a remarkable 8.7% in 2020 amidst pandemic-induced economic disruptions and travel restrictions. But while the significant drop in emissions has helped the state make progress toward its 2030 climate targets\, it masks a rise in pollution from in-state power generation\, as stubbornly-slow renewable energy growth threatens California’s transition to carbon neutrality. At the same time\, a drop in emissions from the transportation sector for the third-consecutive year could signal a breakthrough in the state’s largest source of climate pollution\, if pandemic-era shifts towards hybrid work remain and electric vehicle adoption continues to rise. \nThe report also analyzed the economic and jobs returns on investment from four of California’s signature climate and clean energy programs\, and found that a cumulative $2.76 billion investment in these programs generated $5.35 billion in economic output and created 8\,521 jobs—while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The findings should inform California’s budget priorities\, as the state pursues strategies to fend off a potential looming recession. \nThe briefing will discuss findings related to increasing green jobs\, transportation developments\, challenges posed by wildfires\, and new innovations in the clean tech sector.

SUMMARY:2023 National Community Solar Partnership Annual Summit
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) is hosting the third National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) Annual Summit on January 19\, 2023\, at the Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego\, California. There will also be a virtual option for attendees who cannot attend in person. \nThis year’s summit theme\, ‘Community Solar’s Time to Shine’\, reflects how the efforts of NCSP and our partners over the last year\, as well as the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, have unlocked a new potential for community solar. We are excited to convene NCSP members\, community solar stakeholders\, and industry thought leaders to engage in conversations about the new landscape of community solar.  \nThe event will feature plenary sessions and interactive roundtable discussions on topics including new community solar markets\, accessible financing\, customer acquisition with an emphasis on low-income households\, messaging\, and access to capital. NCSP will also announce the winners of the Sunny Awards for Equitable Community Solar and new NCSP initiatives. Read more details in the agenda here. \nThe registration fee for in-person attendance is $80. There is no charge for virtual participation. You can find more information on accommodations here.   \nThe NCSP Summit will be co-located and hosted in coordination with the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA) and RE+ Events Community Solar Power Summit\, which will take place January 18-19\, also at the Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego\, CA. This summit will bring together community solar businesses\, utilities\, non-profits\, and feature conversations with community solar thought leaders\, sessions on current trends and policies\, and networking opportunities. See our frequently asked questions below for more details. \nPlease reach out to community.solar@ee.doe.gov with any questions\, and join the partnership to stay up to date on the summit details\, NCSP announcements\, and other community solar news. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to community.solar@ee.doe.gov for more information. \nREGISTER HERE
