The world is experiencing unprecedented fuel price increases in part due to energy and political insecurities, up to 7 million air pollution deaths per year worldwide and one climate-related disaster after another. Solutions to these problems invariably require a concerted effort to transform our energy infrastructure, technologies, and policies. Research at Stanford University concludes that these problems can be solved in 145 countries that were examined–without blackouts and at low cost using almost all existing technologies.
Join Professor Mark Jacobson in this webinar as he sheds light on the pressing need to shift towards clean, renewable energy and storage to address the harmful effects of climate change on air quality, energy accessibility and political stability.
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Stanford University
Dr. Jacobson’s career has focused on better understanding air pollution and global warming problems and developing large-scale clean, renewable energy solutions to them. Toward that end, he has developed and applied three-dimensional (3-D) atmosphere-biosphere-ocean computer models and solvers to simulate and understand air pollution, weather, climate, and renewable energy systems. He has also developed roadmaps to transition countries, states, cities, and towns to 100% clean, renewable energy for all purposes and computer models to examine grid stability in the presence of 100% renewable energy.
