Title: International Cooperation to Face the Climate Emergency

The Structure of the Short Course:

We are facing the climate emergency. The need to rapidly (and sustainably) decarbonize both on-grid and off-grid communities, cities, agriculture and industries is where we can directly implement climate solutions that also lead to social justice. Specific policies and projects are needed to accelerate this transition, and in many places it is partnerships between companies, and public-private partnerships to bring energy storage, electric vehicles, Hydrogen-based green power, etc … rapidly into commercial operation.
