SUMMARY:Building a Clean\, Equitable Economy: Where Do We Go from Here?
DESCRIPTION:Join Heather Boushey to learn about how the United States can embrace the clean energy transition without leaving communities behind.\n\n\nPenn Climate\, the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy\, and the Penn Center for Science\, Sustainability\, and the Media\, welcome Heather Boushey\, Professor of Practice at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy\, for a conversation during Earth Week. \nOne of our nation’s most pressing economic challenges is embracing decarbonization as a strategic opportunity for shared growth and security. There is a need to rapidly transition from a carbon-intensive economy\, to adapt to the real-time physical damages incurred from a changing climate\, to bolster American competitiveness through technological innovation\, and to reverse decades of rising economic inequalities. Too often\, policymakers seeking policies that deliver both economic and climate benefits find themselves constrained by frameworks that assume decarbonization is a simple tradeoff between higher costs and lower emissions. \n \nFor the United States to maintain its role as an economic powerhouse\, it cannot be economically “blind” to the financial hazards of climate change and the economic upsides of decarbonization. The fundamental gaps in technical knowledge\, tools\, and communities of economic practice leave economic policymakers with outdated frameworks and capacities that fail to account for the requisite scale and speed of the energy transition\, which\, in turn\, results in people and places being left behind. \n \nIn this seminar\, Dr. Heather Boushey\, Professor of Practice at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy\, will debunk old dogma on the economics of climate change and map out the necessary principles to deliver on our future\, which sets the table for a forward-looking plan where decarbonization delivers shared growth for people and places and bolsters national security.
