Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for a forum on The Energy-Climate Nexus. This event examined the various changes to our energy system that could help keep climate change below a two degree threshold and help meet the goal of a sustainable energy future, including:
– Significantly increasing renewable energy deployment;
– Accelerating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and negative carbon emissions technologies;
– Deploying next generation nuclear technology.
