Read. This. Assessment. No matter your role, company, or level of climate background. One resounding note from this assessment concludes that “societal choices drive greenhouse gas emissions”. It points out that climate change is encouraging shifts in jobs to renewables, low carbon tech, and electrification. I can attest to that! These roles are supporting states’ decarbonization plans.

This is a problem we can solve. Collectively. #climatesolutions #electrification #sustainability
