When it comes to cutting emissions, there are many paths to success. Sweden, France, South Korea, and Ontario have all taken steps to replace fossil fuels with nuclear, hydro and renewable energy, while China is expanding electric car and battery production.

Join us for a discussion about who’s moving ahead and who’s moving backward in the transition to a clean energy economy.
