Renewable Energy and Clean Water for All

  

Session Detail:  There are key drivers of change in our world and region: Climate change, population growth, energy and water demand are all increasing.  Sustainable means we build with future generations in mind.    Resiliency planning  is the new requirement - so we can mitigate and adapt to the consequences of higher temperatures, increasing drought and wildfires
