10th U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium & Awards, Justice and Equity in Clean Energy, November 3-4,
Event Description
Clean energy, environmental justice, and social equity are at a critical juncture in the United States. All Americans should share in the benefits of the energy transition regardless of income, race, ethnicity, gender, and geographic location. These benefits include sustainable energy technologies, new job opportunities, healthier people, and a healthier planet. At this year’s 10th U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium & Awards, thought leaders will discuss the latest advances in the energy transition, this year’s U.N. Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), what lessons the United States can learn from other countries, and what U.S. successes are replicable in other countries, especially those with developing economies.
The Honorable Jennifer M. Granholm, U.S. Energy Secretary
