Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Climate Change Science Institute and the Georgia Institute of Technology hosted a Southeast Decarbonization Workshop in November that drew scientists and representatives from government, industry, non-profits and other organizations to strategize about clean energy opportunities unique to the southeastern United States.

The workshop at Georgia Tech brought together community members and regional experts to encourage conversations about accelerating decarbonization, including identifying strategic science and technology gaps, engaging a diversity of views and promoting benefits for all, and exploring nature- and place-based solutions that are sensitive to key assets, including water, land, and communities. Participants identified a range of strategic partnership opportunities based on real stakeholder needs across the region.
