Thursday’s Business Council for Sustainable Energy event focused on how the utilities and other industries are approaching the upcoming 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), which runs Oct. 31 to Nov. 12.
“We see really fantastic programs and initiatives being offered globally,” said Choi, adding that addressing climate change will require investment in clean energy technologies as well as community partnerships to roll them out.
In the run up to COP26, nations around the globe have made new climate commitments. Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50%-52% from 2005 levels by 2030.
