On-Demand Webinar: Integrating Advanced Manufacturing and Climate Change Policies
Amidst the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression and escalating trade and security controversies with China and other nations, the need to rebuild the U.S. manufacturing sector and increase its competitiveness has never been greater. At the same time, the threat of climate change will ultimately force this diverse sector to transition to much cleaner production processes. This panel discusses underappreciated opportunities for bringing clean manufacturing innovation to greater prominence with the goal of shaping the climate and manufacturing policy agenda.
The Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) (now the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability, IGS) in partnership with the Northeast Clean Energy Council (NECEC) hosts the Energy of the Future webinar series.
