On Saturday night, BCSE hosted a dinner with the TED Countdown House and the SEEC Institute to bring together U.S. public and private sector leaders who are advancing energy, climate and economic progress at home. In opening remarks, public sector leaders spoke on the importance of partnerships and of hearing from the private sector on where they can provide value within United States and at the international agenda.

Scott Tew, Global Head and VP, Sustainability Strategy, Trane Technologies emphasized that technology solutions to make significant emissions reductions already exist – and challenged attendees to focus on solutions for deployment during the second week of COP and the coming year.
