Energy use is a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions in each of the world's major emitting nations, and represents one of the greatest opportunities for significant consumer savings. Promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy resources could mean reduced costs for consumers and reduced operating expenses for business. This panel will assemble technical, business, and policy experts to discuss both strategies and successful examples of projects and programs to develop energy solutions for a green economy. Panelists will discuss a comprehensive range of energy strategies from green buildings to an innovative "green bank" approach to help finance the transition to a low-carbon economy.
