The Renewable Nations Institute and Lt. Governor David Zuckerman cordially invite you to the launch of the United States Partnership for Sustainable Energy for All (US-SEforALL) during the Summer Institute hosted at Norwich University. The Institute is 10 - 11:30 a.m. on July 21, 2017 in Roberts Hall at Norwich University in Northfield, VT. Speakers and attendees include leaders from local, state and national government, business, renewable energy, education sectors. A light lunch will follow. The US-SEforALL, hosted at Norwich University, is a consortium of Industry, Academia, Government & NGO’s providing a Public-Private-Partnership to support the US commitment to the Paris Agreement. This initiative, a joint program of the United Nations and the World Bank, will stimulate $200 billion USD in U.S.-based investment in SEforALL projects through 2030 in support of the Paris Agreement and create an estimated 200 Full-Time Equivalent employees in the State of Vermont beginning in the Fall of 2017. The framework for addressing climate change focuses on the role of youth in solving the climate crisis and helping make rapid transitions to renewable energy sources. Within the framework of service learning, high school students are empowered to become community leaders, access valuable work skills, and chart the course for a sustainable energy future. Students from China and Northfield, hosted at Norwich for this pilot project, will participate in this event and create presentations for viewing.
