"Much of the action in the U.S. is happening at the state level, and we are not slowing down: 36 of our states have climate action plans. There has already been an economic transformation in the states; that will not change.”
-Deb Markowitz, Secretary of Natural Resources, Vermont

Our Work on the Water-Energy Nexus

This video was premiered at the 2016 Cool Planet Award Ceremony on Tuesday, October 25th. Understanding the Water-Energy Nexus examines the intricate interconnection of water and energy. Having completed the first-ever Water Energy GHG Guidance last year, TCR is now piloting it in Southern California in partnership with Southern California Edison, and looking towards expanding it into a national protocol.
