Rohit Shukla, founder and ceo of Larta Institute, a business accelerator in Los Angeles that assists SBIR-funded companies with innovations that feed, fuel and heal the world, guides us through the recent history of climate change with a focus on California’s efforts, and the solutions brought forth by federally funded American innovation. Overall, he says, the genie is out of the bottle, and the strong partnerships being formed by industry highlights positive economic drivers for cleantech solutions. The issue is not discerning of geography – the responsibility and opportunity for reducing emissions and presenting solutions is upon the global community. Our risk is only to be left behind.
