Transitioning the United States economy toward deep decarbonization will have unequally distributed effects—both positive and negative—across socio-economic groups, geographies, and economic sectors. The concerns of workers and communities adversely affected by the transition must inform the discussion around decarbonization, associated policy changes, and institutional development. Whether responding to the disruption caused by industrial transition or managing the economic upheaval from a pandemic, the need to create opportunities must remain front and center. Join U.S. C3E Ambassador Anna J. Siefken from Carnegie Mellon University, U.S. C3E Ambassador Carol Battershell from Battersea Energy LLC, and U.S. C3E 2019 Education Award recipient Valerie Karplus from Carnegie Mellon University as they discuss critical pathways to decarbonization.

This webinar is organized by U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy. Closing the gender gap and increasing the participation, leadership, and success of women in clean energy fields are the goals of the U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Initiative.
