SUMMARY:Powering Agriculture: Financing Distributed Renewable Energy in Emerging Markets
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Goldsmith Sustainable Agriculture Fund at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy & Penn Climate. \nEvent Summary \nThe interrelationship between agriculture and energy is brought into sharp focus by the worsening climate crisis. Nowhere is this more consequential than in emerging markets and developing economies\, where agriculture anchors livelihoods and where reliable\, affordable energy remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of people. \nDistributed renewable energy solutions\, from solar irrigation to mini-grids and cold chains\, offer a proven path to cutting emissions\, raising productivity\, and expanding access. These systems reduce emissions while improving energy access\, strengthening livelihoods\, and supporting local economic development\, particularly in underserved and limited-grid areas where extending the central grid is slow or uneconomic. \nThe key constraint is financing. Emerging markets and developing economies face a considerable investment gap in meeting the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. Closing this gap will require increasing both the quantity and the effectiveness of international and domestic capital flows\, across public and private sources. This question now has a concrete policy anchor in Mission 300\, the World Bank Group and African Development Bank partnership to connect 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa to electricity by 2030. Roughly half of that target is expected to be met through off-grid solutions such as mini-grids and standalone solar\, which places distributed renewable energy. Mission 300 sees public finance as the anchor for derisking and affordability\, with a targeted 50% of investment from private capital\, which is critical for scale and speed. \nClimate Week NYC offers a uniquely fitting venue for a conversation focused on financing models for distributed renewable energy in agriculture as a uniquely bankable model in emerging markets. As the largest annual gathering of climate leaders in the Western Hemisphere\, held alongside the United Nations General Assembly\, it brings finance\, policy\, research\, and implementation actors into the same city at the same time. \nThis invitation-only roundtable will convene a focused group of leaders across these communities to examine what is working\, where the financing bottlenecks are most acute\, and what concrete steps can accelerate distributed renewable energy deployment. Ambassador Ali Mohamed\, Special Climate Envoy for Kenya\, will open the discussion with a keynote that frames the stakes for the continent. \nConvened by AGRA\,  Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet\, and the Goldsmith Sustainable Agriculture Fund at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. The event is a Climate-Agriculture Exchange Initiative\, co-sponsored by the Carl H. Goldsmith Agriculture Fund and Penn Climate\, the University of Pennsylvania’s provostial climate unit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker \nAli Mohamed \nSpecial Envoy for Climate Change \nAmbassador Ali D. Mohamed currently serves as Special Envoy for Climate Change in the Executive Office of the President of Kenya\, advising on national climate strategy and representing Kenya in high-level global forums on climate action and climate finance.

SUMMARY:The New Investment Map: Competitiveness\, Climate Resilience\, and the Future of Clean Energy Investment
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Penn Climate \nWhat makes a country competitive for the next generation of investment in clean energy and industry? How are climate impacts\, new technologies\, the AI-driven demand for energy\, and other factors reshaping the investment decisions of banks\, pension funds\, and insurance companies? \nAs geopolitical competition intensifies and the physical impacts of climate change become increasingly clear\, the factors driving global investment decisions are changing. \nCompanies are no longer choosing locations based solely on labor costs or market access; they are seeking jurisdictions\, at subnational and national scales\, that can offer resilient infrastructure\, secure supply chains\, and predictable policy environments. In parallel\, governments are grappling with converging trade and economic\, security\, and energy risks made more challenging by the reality of chokepoints at multiple scales\, from global geographical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz to capacity constraints at the local grid level. Investment firms\, meanwhile\, are increasingly factoring climate risk into the decisions they make on behalf of their shareholders. \nThe frontier of green investment is also increasingly shaped by the interplay between performance-based trade rules and the generation of lead markets for low-carbon and near-zero industrial products. The promise of real economic growth from new technologies\, especially in emerging and developing economies\, cannot be fully realized without participation from relevant organizations\, investors\, and international financial organizations to enhance access to finance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Program \nPart 1 \nIntroduction and welcome from Sanya Carley\, Vice Provost for Climate and Kleinman Center Faculty Director\, followed by opening address from Rachel Kyte\, UK Special Representative for Climate\, and keynote address from U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse\, who will set the scene on the role of government in supporting private investment into resilient clean energy supply chains in emerging economies. \nPart 2 \nPanel discussion\, “Global Investment and Competitive Clean Industrial Supply Chains\,” with representatives from academia\, the private sector\, international organizations\, and government who will offer their take on challenges and opportunities to catalyze such investment. \nPanelists \n\nModerator: Witold Henisz\, Vice Dean\, Wharton Impact; Deloitte & Touche Professor of Management\nDr. Lutz Morgenstern\, Head of Division on General Issues of International Climate Action and Global Energy Transition; Action Agenda\, German Federal Ministry for the Environment\, Climate Action\, Nature Conservation\, and Nuclear Safety\nStephan Nicoleau\, C’05; Co-Founder\, FullCycle Climate Partners\, LP; Chair of the Board Project Drawdown\nMichael Apicelli\, Head of Secretariat of the Climate Club\nJessica Olson\, Head of Global Affairs (Americas & Indo-Pacific)\, Topsoe\nCatherine Goldberg\, Senior Fellow\, Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab at Johns Hopkins University\n\nPart 3 \nClosing keynote remarks by Heather Boushey\, Director of the Penn Kleinman Center EconClimate Lab and Former White House Chief Economist for the Invest in America Cabinet\, to reflect on the opening keynote and panel discussion and offer insights and thoughts on a sensible way forward. \nReception \nThe keynote addresses and panel will be followed by a catered reception with the opportunity for further connection and networking. \n\nNote: This event is invite-only.

SUMMARY:Climate Week at Penn 2026 - Bird Collisions in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Bird-window collisions are a leading cause of bird mortality in the United States\, killing over one billion birds each year. These collisions peak during spring and fall migration\, when birds travel long distances and often pass through urban areas. Situated along the Atlantic Flyway\, Philadelphia provides essential stopover habitat for migrating birds. However\, many never complete their journey\, falling victim to window strikes and other man-made hazards. \nJoin us in honoring these birds by creating replicas of the most commonly affected species. These will become part of a powerful art installation—stretching the length of a football field—to memorialize the lives lost to this widespread issue. \nWe’ll also share practical tips and tools to make your windows bird-safe\, spotlight the work of Bird Safe Philly\, and highlight how Penn is taking action to become a more bird-friendly campus.

SUMMARY:Securing the Supply Chain: Critical Minerals Permitting Reform
DESCRIPTION:Electric vehicles\, wind turbines\, and grid-scale batteries all depend on critical minerals such as lithium\, cobalt\, nickel\, and rare earth elements. Yet in the United States\, opening a new mine can take years—or even decades—because of a complex permitting process. As demand for these minerals grows\, policymakers face a difficult question: how can the U.S. secure the materials needed for the clean energy transition without weakening environmental protections or overlooking the concerns of local communities? \nThis seminar examines how mineral permitting works\, why approvals take so long\, and what reforms could speed up responsible mining. We will also explore how economic analysis can help measure the costs of permitting delays and the trade-offs involved in faster approvals\, giving policymakers better evidence to guide reform. \nThe EconClimate Lab advances forward looking economic policy ideas that make energy policy benefit workers\, communities\, and the American economy. \nThe conversation will be moderated by Heather Boushey\, professor of practice at the Kleinman Center and former member of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief economist to President Biden’s Investing in America Cabinet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants: \nGracelin Baskaran\nDirector\, Critical Minerals Security Program\, CSIS \nGracelin Baskaran is director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist and has spent over a decade working on critical minerals globally. \n\n\n\nJamie Pleune\nAssociate Professor of Law (Research) and Wallace Stegner Center Fellow\, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of LawJamie Pleune is an Associate Professor of Law (Research) and a member of the Law & Policy Program in the Wallace Stegner Center for land resources\, and the environment.

SUMMARY:Geoscience Colloquium: Drippy\, Wavy Arctic Soil Patterns Analogous to Fluid Instabilities: A Chalk Talk
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Glade\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences as well as Mechanical Engineering as the University of Rochester. \nDr. Glade’s group studies how sediment transport shapes planetary surfaces through erosion and deposition. We use mathematical theory\, numerical modeling\, fieldwork\, and physical experiments to better understand how landforms like rivers and hillslopes fundamentally work\, with an eye toward connecting geomorphology with other fields. Ongoing research focuses on the formation of large-scale spatial patterns in arctic soils and their connection to fluid instabilities; sediment diffusion in rivers; the evolution of blocky\, rocky hillslopes; and development and testing of landscape evolution models. In our lab\, we’re in the process of building a frozen hillslope inside of a walk-in climate chamber and a laminar flume to study sediment transport in rivers. \nDr. Glade is the PI of the DRIP Lab (Dirt\, Rivers\, Ice\, Particles)\, an interdisciplinary group of scientists at the University of Rochester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences who strive to understand how sediment dynamics influence the evolution of Earth’s surface by drawing connections between Geomorphology and other fields like Fluid Dynamics\, Soft Matter and Statistical Physics. They use a combination of theory\, numerical models (everything from homegrown “toy” models to CFDEM)\, physical experiments\, and fieldwork to work on problems ranging from grain to landscape scales.

SUMMARY:Karen Clay (CMU)
DESCRIPTION:Karen Clay  \nCMU \nTitle: Cap and Trade Meets Institutions:\ Evidencefrom the Acid Rain Program \n Abstract: An aggregate emissions cap determines howmuch pollution is emitted\, but not where reductions occur. For pollutants whosedamages vary across space\, the environmental incidence of cap and tradetherefore depends on where firms abate and on the institutions within whichthey operate. We study these forces in the U.S. Acid Rain Program\, the firstlarge-scale cap-and-trade program for air pollution. Using MERRA-2 atmosphericdata and a comparison region selected on atmospheric grounds\, we find that theprogram reduced ambient SO2 at Phase I plants by approximately 25 percent during1995–1999 relative to 1985–1989. Reductions began before formal complianceand varied substantially across plants. They were larger in states thatrestructured electricity markets and smaller in states with greater Republicangubernatorial control. Reductions were also larger in more populous countiesand at plants with greater scrubber coverage. Our results show that theenvironmental incidence of cap and trade depends importantly on the institutionalsettings in which firms make compliance decisions.

SUMMARY:Geoscience Colloquium: Anthony Broccoli
DESCRIPTION:Anthony J. Broccoli is the Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science within the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University.  He is also the Director of the Center for Environmental Prediction and the Director of the Graduate Program in Atmospheric Science. \nHis research group focuses on the dynamics of the climate system\, with a specific emphasis on understanding the fundamental mechanisms that are involved in changes in climate. Climate models are powerful tools for learning about such mechanisms\, as they enable us to test hypotheses about climate system behavior by performing controlled experiments.  A substantial part of Dr. Broccoli’s research involves the simulation of past climates\, such as the climate of the last ice age or the response of climate to changes in the earth’s orbit. The value in studying past climates derives from the large changes in climate that have taken place over geologic time\, which provide a framework for developing a better understanding of the key feedbacks and processes that determine how the climate system responds to external forcing. \nIn recent deacdes\, human-induced climate change has grown in importance and is expected to be the dominant driver of climate change in the next century.  Thus his team are also interested in understanding  the mechanisms that will govern the response of the climate system to anthropogenic forcing.  Such work is complementary to research on past climates\, for it is likely that similar mechanisms are involved.  An important point is that our goal is not to simply project future changes in climate\, but also to understand the mechanisms by which such changes are expected to occur.
