Conference: Climate, Energy, and the Political Divide

The Institute for Policy Integrity’s annual conference, during NYC Climate Week, will focus on progress and possibilities for the energy transition in the current political landscape, and strategies for generating support from diverse constituencies. Speakers will share insights from their work in federal government, the private sector, major media outlets, and community and policy organizations. Guests can register to attend in person or virtually.
