The World of Climate Has been Rocked, It’s Go Time!
‘The World of Climate Has Been Rocked, It’s Go Time!’ will include two powerful fireside chats (with climate solutions expert Paul Hawken and political operator and commentator Van Jones), followed by peer-led breakout sessions focused on the bold moves needed for climate startups to thrive over the next four years. We will focus on strategies, tactics and goals for climate tech startups to thrive these next 4 years and beyond. We will gather top leaders for this bi partisan event to help you deliver climate success.
What is it?
An unconventional interactive event with experts and peers where policy, energy abundance, efficiency, and resilience intersect, with AI and automation leading the way.
Lets Explore Together:
Will Washington really kill the IRA or is it all pomp and circumstance?
How do we shift our messaging to thrive in the Trump MAGA era and yet still be authentic with and crush our goals?
What is the most impactful climate tech we should be doubling down on and what should we finally drop?
What challenges do you face? Small groups of peers will help brainstorm solutions.
Program:
Fireside Chat I: Big Swings with Paul Hawken
Founder of Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration, and 5x NYT Best Selling Author, Paul Hawken, on groundbreaking climate solutions, emerging deep tech innovations, and key strategies from his latest book, Carbon, The Book of Life, to accelerate systemic change. We will also get a preview of his next book on avoiding some of the delusions in climate technology, amongst which are direct air capture, the energy transition, and net zero.
Fireside Chat II: Crossing the Aisle with Van Jones
CNN Host and Founder of DreamMachine.Org, Van Jones, on bipartisan collaboration, messaging, and U.S. Climate Policy. Van has demonstrated an uncanny ability to cross the aisle to get things done as evidenced by his criminal justice reform under Trump.
Interactive Breakout Session: A moderator will lead a discussion on the challenges each of you face and help brainstorm solutions.
Networking Opportunities: Connect with leaders and influencers over local SF bites and libations.
