I hope to sit in on a couple of local events here in NYC in the next couple of weeks. The first is Carbon Finance North America 2009, June 11 and 12. The keynote speaker is Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and there will be worthy panelists from government, the private sector and from NGOs. There will be plenty of discussion and insight into federal climate and energy legislation and Obama administration initiatives, what to expect from Copenhagen, what the investment communities are interested in and what projects they’re pursuing, and the prospects for fully integrating sustainability into the economic architecture of the future.
Another event that’s coming up is GreenBuildingsNY, June 16 and 17. All of the major building supply companies will be exhibiting in what will likely be a pretty eye-opening experience. This is being produced in part by GreenerBuildings.com, a consistently excellent resource.
