Accelerating the necessary transformation to 100% renewable energy in all end-use sectors (electricity, transportation, heating and cooling) in all cities, regions and nations throughout the world, requires effective technologies, markets, policies, community actions, public support and commitment to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) principles. This opening plenary explores progress and promise occurring globally, nationally and regionally on all of these fronts. In addition, presenters provide insights into challenges from the perspectives of utilities, policymakers and technology experts.

Governor Ritter will join Xcel Energy President Alice Jackson, IRENA Coalition for Action Dave Renné and session moderator Paulette Middleton for an engaging opening keynote discussion on August 4.  Register here.
