This session brings together Arizona experts on climate science, business, state and federal initiatives. We look at paradigm shifts in the fossil fuels sector toward renewable energy sources and carbon reductions. Are stockholders the drivers of electric car booms? What goes on behind the scenes of government/industry negotiations in the U.S. and abroad? We train a spotlight on the rights of indigenous people around the world who are economically and culturally threatened by global warming and related habitat destruction.
