Çï¿ûÊÓƵ

The Bryson Symposium on Climate and Energy Policy featured California’s local, state, and regional work on fuel economy, energy efficiency, and clean energy. At the event, nationally recognized experts shared their pioneering work with an audience of scholars, students, and policy experts in an array of fields. What united the speakers and the audience was a desire to understand how new research and innovations in both public policy and scientific research can contribute to the mitigation of climate change. As local and state policies will increasingly guide the future of energy policy, the lessons from California’s leaders have broad applications.

Named in honor of Çï¿ûÊÓƵ Member John Bryson, a former member of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s Science, Engineering, and Technology advisory committee who provided a major gift to sustain the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s work in science and engineering, the Bryson Symposium on Climate and Energy Policy was moderated by Çï¿ûÊÓƵ Member Maxine L. Savitz, cochair of the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ’s Alternative Energy Future project that is examining nontechnological barriers to the adoption of new energy technologies and how these barriers might be overcome.
