Last month during our Alumni in Climate Networking Series, we heard from local organizations about how they hope to have a positive impact on #climatechange, in a panel moderated by Harvard Business School Professor Mike Toffel. Solutions ranged from: 1️⃣ Mitchell Goldstein shared how Commonwealth Fusion Systems uses magnets to build smaller and lower-cost fusion systems 2️⃣ Pasi Miettinen explained how Sagewell, Inc uses data analytics to deliver solutions for #energy efficiency 3️⃣ Emily Stoler outlined how the Wyss Institute at Harvard University bridges the gap between academia and industry to build a more #sustainable future.

It’s SF Climate Week, and the Bay Area is abuzz with business opportunities and innovative technologies looking to create a healthier planet with reduced greenhouse gas pollution (GHGs). I had a fantastic time returning to the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business. I kicked off my climate week by guest teaching three sections of the school’s foundation climate business course, Climate Change and Business Strategy, taught by the incomparable Andrew Isaacs. We discussed sustainability in the Consumer Electronics, Financial Services, and Media industries with fantastic interactions with a set of truly engaged and climate innovation-focused graduate students. #BerkeleyHaasClimateBiz #SFClimateWeek #GreenBusinessOpportunities #SustainableTech #EcoInnovation #ConsumerElectronicsSustainability #ClimateStrategyEducation #GHGReduction #ClimateChangeLeadership #SustainableFinance #MediaForClimate #GraduateClimateAction #InnovativeClimateSolutions #BusinessStrategiesForChange #ClimateFocusedStudents Consumer Technology Association Sustain SoCal Pebble Volvo Group
