Plenary 1: Accelerating Implementation of Environmental Sustainability through Financial and Policy Incentives
Time:
Wednesday, 21/June/2023:
8:00am - 9:15am
Location:Ell Hall - Blackman Auditorium
Session Abstract
Environmental sustainability has often been viewed as a cost rather than an economic opportunity by both industry and government. Out of necessity, the fields of environmental engineering and science have historically taken a retroactive approach to solution formation. In this panel, we invite change makers from industry (e.g., insurance), government, philanthropic organizations, and investment firms to share their approach to accelerating the implementation of sustainability solutions. We ask they enumerate what features stand out to them in sustainability and environmental engineering technologies that promise both real and measurable impact, as well as market solutions that can support those innovations.
