SUMMARY:Anjali Bansal: The Opportunity to Drive Value Creation Through Climate Investing
DESCRIPTION:About the event \nWhen applied to large-scale problems\, technology and innovation can help create solutions with an outsized impact on climate outcomes. \nThere is an extraordinary opportunity to build and scale technology-led solutions that can accelerate low-emissions and climate-resilient development pathways and drive impact for people and planet. \nInvestment in these climate technologies is required across the capital continuum – from early-stage venture capital funding to large public funds. For developing nations such as India\, which are critical participants in achieving global sustainability\, climate technologies must encompass adaptation\, resilience\, and mitigation to drive maximum value creation. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout the speaker \nAnjali Bansal is the Founding Partner of Avaana Climate and Sustainability Fund – investing in technology and innovation-led start-ups catalysing climate solutions and sustainability.

SUMMARY:Planes\, Trains and Automobiles: Electrifying Everything
DESCRIPTION:Electric vehicle adoption has significantly progressed in the past few years\, and the technologies and regulations to electrify other kinds of transportation has also accelerated. For years\, we have talked about light duty electric vehicles\, but total transportation electrification means electrifying every single way in which we move people and goods. This Summit will highlight the wider world of electric transportation including electric vertical take-off and landing\, airplanes\, ports\, school buses\, and micro-mobility to explore the current state of the market and what is needed for mass adoption. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Emerging Research: Air Pollution Health Outcomes and Valuation
DESCRIPTION:The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Research Division invites you to attend a public meeting to hear information about emerging science in the areas of assessing air pollution related health outcomes and approaches for valuation of health outcomes.  \nThe purpose of this meeting is to hear information about emerging science in the area of air pollution and health in order to better understand the current available research and methodologies to assess and quantify health outcomes and benefits. This meeting will involve several presentations by academic and governmental experts on topics including health outcomes and valuation.  \nThe scientific health experts are listed below:   \nIrva Hertz-Picciotto\, M.P.H.\, Ph.D.\, Environmental and Occupational Health\, UC Davis\nMichael Jerrett\, Ph.D.\, Environmental Health Sciences\, UCLA\nRob Scot McConnell\, MD.\, Population and Public Health Sciences\, USC\nPenelope JE Quintana\, M.P.H.\, Ph.D.\, Environmental Health\, SDSU\nBhavna Shamasunder\, M.ES.\, Ph.D.\, Urban and Environmental Policy\, Occidental College\nTracey Woodruff\, M.P.H.\, Ph.D.\, Reproductive Health and the Environment\, UCSF  \nThe presentations will be followed by questions and a panel discussion with health experts under contract to CARB (see list of scientific health experts below). Afterwards there will be a period of public comment.  \nREGISTER HERE \nPlease register for the Public Meeting of Emerging Research: Air Pollution Health Outcomes and Valuation. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the webinar by computer or by telephone.  \nThis webinar will be recorded. A link to the recording will be sent to registrants two weeks after the meeting date. The meeting agenda will be made available a week in advance of the meeting\, and meeting slides will be made available the day of the meeting online.
