 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-can-we-accelerate-decarbonization-to-mitigate-climate-change-tickets-344167824227\n\nJoin 
 a science webinar on how the transitioning of the world’s energy system 
 from fossil fuel combustion to net-zero emissions of carbon dioxide is 
 critical to mitigating climate change, protecting human health, and 
 equitably sustaining the U.S. economy.\n\nThe 2021 National Academies 
 report Accelerating Decarbonization of the United States Energy System 
 identified key technological and socio-economic goals that must be achieved 
 to put the United States on the path to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 
 2050. This webinar will focus on key findings of the report related to 
 equity and inclusion in the U.S. energy system.\n\nPanelists also will 
 explore the role of the social and behavioral sciences in helping 
 policymakers, businesses, communities, and the public better understand and 
 respond to what a net-zero transition would mean for the United 
 States.\n\nParticipants include:\n\n--Prof. Michael Méndez, Assistant 
 Professor, Department of Urban Planning & Public Policy \nat the School of 
 Social Ecology, University of California Irvine\n\n--Julia Haggerty, Assoc. 
 Professor specializing in Rural Geography and \nCommunity & 
 Social-Ecological Resilience, Montana State University\n\n--Nathan Hultman, 
 Assoc. Professor and Director, Center for Global Sustainability, 
 \nUniversity of Maryland\n\n--Diana Liverman, Regents' Professor, School of 
 Geography & Development, \nUniversity of Arizona\n\n--Devashree Saha, 
 Senior Associate at World Resources Institute\n\nThe National Academies of 
 Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions 
 that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing 
 the nation and world. Our work helps shape sound policies, inform public 
 opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.\n
