As California moves towards a renewably powered and more energy efficient future, this panel examines how our local actions and surroundings can also make a difference when it comes to energy and climate. Learn about energy and smart city initiatives in SF and the Bay Area that touch upon the most everyday and essential aspects of our lives: food, housing, transportation, and local government services. Our speakers will also bring a wide range of perspectives, highlighting the diverse roles played by the public sector, private sector, advocacy, and startup ecosystems.
