7th Clean Energy Ministerial on June 1&2 in San Francisco

Written By Marianna Grossman

June is a particularly busy month; a number of events on clean energy and other innovative technologies are happening in June in the Bay Area, but Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM7) in San Francisco on June 1 & 2, 2016 is not to be missed. 

CEM7 is the follow-up meeting to the COP21 U.N. Convention of Parties climate change talks last December in Paris. The participating energy ministries include Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

There will be ministerial working sessions and public-private round table discussions which are mostly by invitation only.  But you can go to the two-day tented technology exhibit in San Francisco’s Union Square which showcases clean energy technologies and innovative business models driving clean energy deployment around the world.
