It is clear that aggressive policy for renewable energy leads investment in new businesses and job creation. Governments compete to attract these new opportunities, but the U.S. is behind Germany, China and other countries on local economic development incentives and support. Influential state economic development officials will convene to present case studies on how they attract renewable energy companies to their state, and the extent to which a renewable energy future offers investment opportunities, job creation, and accelerated economic growth at the state level. Additionally, this panel will address successful public/private partnerships in a case study model. The panel will conclude with a discussion between public administrators from state and local entities and private sector leaders on the optimal environment for both private and public sector development.

An historic wave of challenges and opportunities associated with climate change is sweeping through the public and private sectors. In addition to the obvious risks associated with climate change itself, an unprecedented alignment of consumer, investor, regulatory, and industry interests is forcing us all to take stock in how we develop and implement emissions management strategies. Additionally, significant opportunities await organizations that position themselves to capitalize on these market and regulatory forces. This session will examine the risks and opportunities related to climate change for businesses, non-profit institutions, and governmental organizations and explore the emerging role of climate change officers.
