During this webinar co-hosted by Energy Innovation and the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San Francisco, American and Korean experts provide an overview of the new U.S. and Republic of Korea Nationally Determined Contributions, discuss what these climate goals mean for the power and industrial sectors, and identify opportunities for the two countries to collaborate.

Energy Innovation analysts discuss state-of-the-art modeling showing a comparatively small set of policies can help the U.S. achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and the emissions reductions required by 2030 for a 1.5°C pathway in line with President Biden’s pledge to reduce emissions 50-52 percent by 2030.

In this presentation to the Nevada Assembly’s Growth and Infrastructure Committee, EI’s Robbie Orvis shares insights for policy design based on the 1.5°C Scenario developed by Energy Innovation and RMI, showing how ambitious climate policies can achieve Nevada’s goals, while creating economic growth and adding new jobs.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains why a flawed incentive structure added unnecessary financial pain to the damage from the Texas outages, along with key lessons from the crisis including the need for a holistic approach to energy markets and the need for “managed failure.”

EI’s CEO Hal Harvey joins California-China Institute chair Governor Jerry Brown to talk about the smart, practical policies and technologies that can accelerate the clean energy transition and create new opportunities for economic development.
