Come hear Diane Tran and Cassidy Gardenier speak on Clean Energy at our regular meeting Sleep In & Suites in Rogers, MN at 7am. The clean energy race is on. The investment and finance data presented the Pew Clean Energy Program’s report, Who’s Winning the Clean Energy Race, shows that countries are jockeying for a leadership position in this growing and increasingly competitive sector. Countries with clear, consistent and constructive clean energy policies are powering investment forward.
Wednesday’s presentation will examine key financial, investment and technological trends related to clean energy in the world’s leading economies, the Group of Twenty (G-20). Presenters will discuss the continued growth and dynamism of clean energy investment in these economies and follow recent Pew research shoeing that policy priority for clean energy is well-placed; investment in clean power assets alone could reach $2.3 trillion over the 2010-20 period. Countries that succeed in attracting investment can realize the economic, security and environmental benefits of the global race to harness clean, renewable energy sources.
