Energy abundance. Workforce development. Economic opportunity. Global competitiveness. Community prosperity. These are some of the essential components of effective climate policy. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) is an independent, nonpartisan research organization that specializes in convening public and private sector stakeholders to inform pragmatic policy solutions, such as those needed to enable the deployment of innovative advanced energy technologies. We are excited to invite you to a networking breakfast and panel discussion where we will share our organization’s approach to stakeholder-informed policy design and discuss how some of our partners are approaching climate policy in this new era. We’ll kick this event off with a networking breakfast from 8:30-9, followed by brief presentations and a panel discussion.
