Join 350 Chicago for a webinar from Professor of Sustainability, Dr. Daniel Kammen about the Science and Technology of the Just Energy Transition. ?The webinar will be on June 26th at 6:00 PM Central time via Zoom.

While the climate science community has highlighted the critical need for immediate action towards a 1.5 degree C warming target, and while energy and transportation technologies are moving rapidly to enable that challenging goal, the US stands as a national denier that immediate action, swift transitions on both the climate crisis and justice. Every delay in moving the US to a productive, proactive position makes achieving these goals less likely. Immediate, pro-environment, pro-justice, pro-business decisions are needed at the household, state, regional, national and global levels to put us on a sustainable path.

This talk will highlight a set of energy, transportation, & land-use modeling tools & policy opportunities that are consistent with the needed 1.5-degree Celsius objective that also meet social & environmental justice goals.

Speaker Bio: Daniel Kammen is the James and Katherine Lau Distinguished Professor of Sustainability at the University of California, Berkeley. His work is focused on decarbonization, energy access and climate justice. He has served as Senior Advisor for Energy & Innovation at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) & is a Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC.
