The Future of Climate Legislation & Innovation
Episode description
This episode is the first of a 6-part series, The Inflation Reduction Act in the Age of Climate Adoption, released in light of the Inflation Reduction Act and its impact on climate tech innovation, emerging technologies, and a just transition.
I was honored to have Hawai’i State Senator Chris Lee as my first guest on the series. Senator Lee is a globally-recognized leader on climate policy, grid modernization and environmental justice. He is the author of first-of-its-kind legislation to establish the nation’s first 100% renewable energy mandate and to promote economy-wide neutrality by 2045. Senator Lee is also a fierce advocate for removing market barriers for the entrance of new energy technologies, and will play a significant role in Hawai'i’s continued environmental leadership in light of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Join the discussion with Hawai’i State Senator Chris Lee where we’ll cover:
- How he became a global climate ‘powerhouse’
- Lessons learned from his experience tackling decarbonization at megascale
- How legislative bodies can inspire the transformation of utilities
- The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on disadvantaged communities on the frontlines of climate change
