Dr. Lynn Orr, Professor Emeritus, Stanford:

CLIMATE CHANGE + CLEAN ENERGY

On February 25, 2020 Novim, in partnership with the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the UW Foster School of Business, were pleased to present an evening with Professor Lynn Orr, Founding Director of the Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy.

Two of the greatest challenges facing society today, climate change and providing the world with ever cleaner sources of electrical energy, converge on the Paris Accord.

As the transportation and housing sectors move toward the electrification of everything, how we produce that electricity while continuing to reduce carbon emissions in line with commitments made in Paris becomes ever more critical.
