Designing the Climate Future for Pasadena - #LATechWeek
Designing the Climate Future for Pasadena
Join us for an afternoon of solution-focused conversations on how technology, finance, and policy can both prevent and respond to climate change. This special program features two back-to-back panels that together paint a full picture of climate action—from cutting emissions to building resilient communities.
Panel 1 – Innovation for a Livable Planet
How can we keep global temperature rise below 2 °C while powering a growing world? Founders, engineers, and investors share practical strategies for rapid emissions reduction and system-wide transformation.
Topics include: renewable energy, transportation electrification, carbon capture, circular economy, sustainable agriculture and building materials, and the critical roles of finance, entrepreneurship, and policy in scaling these solutions.
Speakers: Aaron Fyke, Alec Miller, Jaysen Harris, Bill Beverley.
Panel 2 – Rebuilding Better: Innovation and Policy Regulation
As droughts, wildfires, and crop failures intensify, how can communities strengthen infrastructure and bounce back sustainably? This session will explore strategies for off-grid housing, resilient water systems, and utility management to protect lives and resources.
Panelists will include experts in off-grid construction, water-system resilience, and utility operations. Final speaker lineup to be announced.
Why Attend
Together, these conversations reveal the dual challenge—and opportunity—of our time: cutting emissions fast enough to avoid the worst impacts while adapting to the climate changes already underway. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of proven technologies, emerging policies, and cross-sector collaborations that can accelerate progress toward a safe, low-carbon planet.
