Forum - Climate Change: Science, Technology, Policy & Politics - Sandeep Agarwal

Global greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to increase despite clear indications that the Earth may warm well beyond 2 deg C. In order to avoid extreme climate consequences, the present energy, industrial, and food production systems need to be decarbonized. Rapid growth of solar and wind, as well as falling prices of electric vehicles, shows that a world without fossil fuels is possible. This talk will focus on policies and technologies needed to achieve a net zero emissions world by 2050.

Our speaker, Dr. Sandeep Agarwal, works as a CTO of a solar startup. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife and two children. He moved to the US from India around two decades back.

DIRECTIONS TO RENGSTORFF PARK AND THE MAPLE ROOM

Head south (away from the Bay) on Rengstorff Ave. (in Mountain View) from 101 or Central Expressway until you cross the train tracks. Then turn left at the intersection (with a traffic light) that says "Stanford Ave.-->" and
"<--Community Center". That puts you into the Community Center's parking lot. In the parking lot, veer to the right, and then turn left, and park alongside the right-hand side of the Community Center. Enter where you see the Humanist Community sign.
