SUMMARY:WBUR "Business In The Era Of Climate Change" Series: Part 5:  Energy Transitions
DESCRIPTION:A five-part WBUR series in collaboration with Harvard Business School and Boston University Questrom School of Business \nBusiness is the main source of the greenhouse gases that are causing the Earth’s climate to change. Business is also the main source of new products\, services and business models that may save us from wholesale climate \ncalamity. This 5-part series\, featuring leading thinkers from business\, environmental advocacy groups and area universities\, will explore what businesses are doing\, can do and should do to confront climate change. \nPart 5: Energy Transitions  \nWe cannot confront climate change without wholesale changes in our sources of energy. What companies are leading the transition to fossil-fuel-free energy\, what barriers are they facing\, and how are they tackling those barriers? How are traditional electric utilities shifting their business strategies to accommodate or even promote new\, cleaner sources of energy? And how are new entrants to this old sector distrupting the electricity industry with clean energy innovations? \nPanelists: \n\nPeter Fox-Penner\, Director\, Institute for Sustainable Energy\, and Professor of Practice\, Questrom School of Business\nAbigail Ross Hopper\, President & CEO at Solar Energy Industries Association\nFrancis Slingsby\, Head of Strategic Partnerships\, Orsted\nModerator\, WBUR Environmental Reporter Bruce Gellerman
