SciLine Media Briefing: Climate Change and the Green Energy Transition

This briefing, part of a series of SciLine media briefings covering key issues in the 2024 election, will cover what the latest scientific research says about:

• U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by source, how they have shifted in recent decades, and their relative contributions to climate change;
• Progress towards meeting national and global greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets, and where major challenges remain;
• The environmental benefits of moving away from fossil fuels, and the social, technology, and policy challenges of doing so;
• Factors that encourage or deter people from accepting new sources of energy; and
• Promising sectors where the green transition is already happening.

When: July 9, 2024 @ 1-2 p.m. ET

SciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing.

Panelists:

• Dr. Noah Kittner, University of North Carolina
