Broadening the Benefits of Clean Energy: Community Engagement and Next Generation Workforce Development

The pace of the energy transition – from energy efficiency and clean energy technology deployment to the build-out of critical infrastructure – will depend on the investments that are made in our shared human capital. For this transition to be successful, it also needs to be inclusive, with meaningful community engagement and education and training at the heart of the approach.

This panel will investigate best practices by both the public and private sectors to transform the ways in which clean energy and climate solutions are deployed, and how our students and workforce can be best prepared to succeed in a carbon-constrained economy. It will share experiences working in different communities, the types of technical expertise that is needed, and how the benefits of the energy transition – including economic, environmental, and health benefits – can be more broadly shared across city lines and country borders.

Presenters include:

  • Opening remarks from Pedro Pizarro, President and CEO, Edison International
  • Gregg Fishman, Director, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)
  • Rhian Kelly, Chief Sustainability Officer, National Grid
  • Paige Morse, Enterprise Director, Sustainability, AspenTech
  • Scott Tew, Vice President, Sustainability and Managing Director, Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability, Trane Technologies
