Introducing the new Clean Energy Action Center
PACE's special in-person event will include the unveiling of the new Clean Energy Action Center (CEAC), an online tool aimed at helping towns understand their energy usage and chart a course to a clean energy world. We encourage you to be part of this revolutionary movement, and connect with other clean energy leaders from across the state. Together we can achieve CT's climate mitigation goals.
The event will kick off with a greeting from Bill McKibben, and all attendees will receive a copy of Bill's new book Here Comes the Sun. After unveiling the new Clean Energy Action Center, a panel of local leaders and state level program managers will explore how to unleash the power of local communities. Also, we will recognize several local climate champions and close with a message from Stanford University Professor Mark Jacobson.
