Over the next 25 years, worldwide energy demand is projected to increase by 50 percent, and global economic output will double. Addressing climate change while simultaneously providing the ability to sustainably grow economies will require a substantial increase in the pace of technological innovation, cooperation and dissemination. But that won’t happen without bold leadership and a revolution in the development of new low-carbon technologies. This panel of leaders and entrepreneurs will discuss how efforts to fight climate change and spur technological development also can drive economic progress. They will discuss successful examples and explore opportunities for increased investment and research. And, they will discuss the important role that states and other subnational jurisdictions can play in creating a new generation of partnerships to develop and bring to market the next generation of climate-friendly technologies.
