Dr. Dan Kammen presents his latest research. He explains the science, economics, and policies behind his recent co-authored report: Accelerating the timeline for climate action in California. “The fact that we are in a climate emergency is plain to see and need not be debated further. . . We are now in a position to do better for the climate, for our economy, and for social justice.” (Senate Testimony 4/11/21) We conclude with the role of the citizen advocate and how we can influence change.
Dr. Kammen is Director of the U.C. Berkeley Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory Rael.berkeley.edu, professor in the Energy Resource Group and the Goldman School of Public Policy, and a Coordinating Lead Author for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. You can read more about his education and research at his personal website.
