President REC Group | Americas San Luis Obispo, California, United States
In this critical decade for climate action, the private and public sectors are coming together to mobilize capital and expand the renewable energy sector at an unprecedented rate. While the industry continues to prioritize an equitable shift towards renewable energy, community trust deficits, public perception, and training a qualified workforce are all ongoing constraints to scale solar energy solutions, especially in marginalized communities worldwide.
In this session, join solar philanthropist Alex Honnold, best known for audacious ascents of the world’s tallest cliffs without a rope, and Cary Hayes, President of REC Americas, to learn how corporate philanthropy can embrace risk-tolerant capital as a powerful tool to grow solar workforces, build trust, and empower communities.
