| UPCOMING CERES EVENTS & WEBINARS | | | | | | LEAD on a Clean Economy
March 4-6, 2025
Washington, D.C.
Join leading companies and investors for LEAD on a Clean Economy to call on federal policymakers to maximize investments in America that accelerate the just transition to an advanced, clean economy. LEAD (Lawmaker Education and Advocacy Days) comes amid a clean energy boom that is driving billions of dollars in new investments and creating thousands of new jobs in local communities across the U.S. This is your chance to make the business case with congressional offices and the president's administration to keep building the strong policy environment we need to capitalize on the momentum toward an abundant clean
energy future. | | | |
| | | | AI and Water: Striking a balance between challenge and opportunity
March 24, 2025, 10am ET
Online
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a water-intensive technology, yet it also holds a key to helping technology companies curb their dependence on increasingly scarce water resources. This is exemplified by data center companies that are supporting the AI boom while employing the technology to help significantly reduce their water use in the process. This webinar will focus on how AI is helping these companies promote water circularity in their operations, and the case for using these strategies and others to reduce water risk in their business,
as well as for their high-tech company clients and investors. | | | | | | | | Deforestation Action: Leveraging Technology to Clean Up Supply Chains
March 26, 2025, 11am ET
Online
Corporate action on deforestation—a major driver of climate change and global nature and biodiversity loss—is crucial this year. New disclosure requirements are set to go into effect and many of the world’s largest companies have ambitious no-deforestation pledges tied to 2025. To comply with the enhanced regulatory environment, mitigate financial risks, and uphold their commitments, companies will have to implement comprehensive traceability and
monitoring systems to ensure their supply chains remain deforestation-free.
Join Ceres and technical experts, as well as investors and company representatives, to explore innovative ways companies can improve their supply chain accountability in this pivotal year for deforestation action. | | | | | |
