Washington, DC May 2008 - Meeting Summary, Participants and Agenda
Growing interest and attention is now focusing on the need for a clearer and more robust technology-based strategy for addressing climate change. While cap and trade has received considerable work and attention internationally, experts increasingly recognize the need for accelerated innovation in clean energy technology. However, key questions remain about what a technology-based strategy should look like and where it will be housed.
The objectives of the meeting were as follows:
- To apply lessons learned from fields other than climate and energy to technology innovation, product development, and deployment challenges in the climate and energy sector.
- To begin developing a practical proposal based on distributed innovation strategies, which are being applied in other sectors, for accelerating the development and deployment of clean energy technology at the pace and scale demanded by climate change.
- To outline the organizational elements of a new, independent, and nimble structure that could execute these new strategies.
