Addressing Energy, Climate Change and National Security:
Opportunities for Innovation Through Public / Private Partnerships
April 29, 2010
12:00pm - 1:30pm (eastern)

The Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest consumer of energy in the US. Defense officials have suggested that cutting energy consumption and adopting renewable energy solutions are critical both to improving the energy security of our military forces and to address climate change. Leadership in the Department of Energy has asserted that US energy goals cannot be met without leadership by DoD, because of its history of innovation and because the energy problems that face the nation also create operational challenges for the military. This webinar brings together 3 visionary leaders from the Defense Department who are building programs to address these issues and are reaching out to the private sector for both partners and solutions. 

On April 29, 2010, the Association of Climate Change Officers and BNA invite you to a discussion on the role of DoD in developing and testing new energy technologies to solve our common problems of energy and climate security. This 90-minute program will highlight existing DoD efforts and opportunities for the defense community to collaborate with industry and the NGO community.
