John,

The University of Michigan, College of Engineering and Third Way invite you to attend our Fastest Path to Zero Virtual Conference Series. We're excited to announce Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D-FL), Chair of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis will join us on the first day of the Fastest Path to Zero on September 15, 12:00 PM EST. If you haven't already, register below!

This invitation-only event brings together leading climate advocates, philanthropists, labor leaders, elected officials, academics, and media from across the Midwest and the nation. Our goal: foster a dynamic conversation focused on how to move forward with ambitious climate action at a time when the nation is also grappling with the pandemic, economic crisis, and resurgent demands for racial justice.

Just as our in-person events aren’t your typical conferences, this won’t be your typical series of webinars. We’re using a different, user-friendly platform that allows you to network with other participants, have background information at the tip of your fingers, and engage with a diverse set of speakers. This includes a cross-section of national and Midwestern policymakers, labor, environmental, academic, NGO, and corporate leaders, and journalists, such as:
* Stacey Abrams, Former Georgia House Democratic Leader and Founder of the Southern Economic Advancement Project
* Jonathan Overpeck, Nobel Prize Winner and IPCC Scientist
* Lisa Friedman, New York Times Reporter

More speakers and panelists will be announced in the coming weeks. Each day of this weekly series will be organized around a specific theme, and you may select to attend all of the events or only the days that interest you. (We think they all will!)

After registering, you will receive emails about new speakers as well as guidelines on how to navigate the Whova platform. Fastest Path to Zero has always been about connecting communities and leaders for solutions to our common goal, and Whova allows us to create that community virtually.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jared DeWese (mailto:[email protected]) . We look forward to seeing you in September!
Best,

Josh Freed
Senior Vice President for Climate and Clean Energy
