Day 1: Climate Innovation & Technology
Innovation and technology are invaluable levers for tackling climate challenges. From AI-driven climate modeling to direct air carbon capture, our kickoff hub day will spotlight the most promising advancements shaping a more sustainable world.
A huge thank you to our Hub location venue hosts, Johns Hopkins Ralph O'Conner Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), and our theme partner, National Public Utility Council, for making this event accessible to all in DC.
Since the venue has limited seating, tickets will be given through a lottery system.
