Seeing Green: Economic and Workforce Development Opportunities in Renewable Energy and Climate Resiliency
Join Chmura's CEO and Chief Economist Dr. Chris Chmura as she hosts climate-smart finance thought leader, Randall Kempner, to discuss the economic and workforce development opportunities presented by recent trends in green energy and climate resiliency.
Pulling from his experience as a domestic and international development practitioner, Kempner, Senior Advisor at the Aspen Institute's Energy and Environment Program, will discuss the economic challenges and opportunities for US regions related to climate change and the clean energy transition. He'll highlight how new federal initiatives - like the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law- can be key tools for regional developers.
Joining them, Chmura economist Mike Chmura will discuss factors contributing to clean energy growth and explore what MSAs and regions are already taking advantage of these green job opportunities. He'll highlight specific initiatives and growing green occupations in the energy sector and explain the methodology behind how the data is tracked.
Lastly, Dr. Chmura will discuss how workforce and economic developers can use the data presented in the webinar to implement green energy and climate resiliency into their own communities' strategies. From program analysis to industry growth tracking, she will discuss how you can utilize data to stay up-to-date with the latest green energy trends and reach your development goals.
We hope you can join us. If you can't join the live event, register anyway and we'll send you a recording of the session.
