Join us on Wednesday, December 11, from 1:00-2:15 pm ET for the 2nd in our Regeneration Series. This webinar focuses on “Electrify Everything” with an emphasis on the electrification of various sectors of the economy in order to accelerate the clean energy transition.
The series is based on the book, Regeneration, Ending the climate crisis in one generation by Paul Hawken & its corresponding website. Each show how individuals, groups, and organizations can make a difference by taking concrete actions towards solving the climate crisis.
Each webinar in the series will explore a topic from the book and will feature speakers with experience in the field.
