The Sustainability Revolution:
What Does it Mean Today to Investors and Entrepreneurs and Everyone?
Talk is cheap. Sustainability and climate change get talked about a lot. But what does it really mean to investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers? We know that clean tech doesn’t mean quick tech, quick solutions, quick money, or a quick fix. However, the challenges posed by sustainability and climate change do mean enormous opportunity in the energy industry, the largest industry in the world, and opportunity brings innovation, jobs and new markets. You will hear from one of the leading clean tech investors, Ray Lane of Kleiner Perkins, and perspectives from a panel of thought leaders in institutional sustainability investment, policy development and the science of climate change.  What are the key issues related to making clean energy the next big thing? How will science, business and policy of climate change converge to create opportunity?  Is clean energy for real now or ten years from now?
