Wed, Oct 21, 12:00 AM[ClimateLink SF](https://www.meetup.com/climatelink-sanfrancisco/) invites you to a conversation with [Lauren Weston](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenlweston/) from [Acterra](https://acterra.org/).

[Acterra](https://acterra.org/) sits directly at the intersection of local climate action and regional tech. In this session, [Acterra](https://acterra.org/)’s Executive Director [Lauren Weston](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenlweston/) highlights how non-profit program design solves adoption bottlenecks. By examining flagship programs like the [Electric Home Tour](https://acterra.org/electrification/greenhome/home-tours/), [Induction Cooktop Lending Program](https://acterra.org/electrification/greenhome/#induction), and Workforce & Community Partnerships, she will explore: * Where Tech Fails User Experience: Why great hardware/software stumbles on local permitting, contractor buy-in, and consumer trust. * Innovating Deployment: How Acterra turns complex climate tech into accessible, community-driven behavior change. * How to Get Involved: Tangible ways 9 Zero founders, investors, and operators can mentor, pilot, or support local climate solutions. **Speaker Info** [Lauren Weston](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenlweston/) is Executive Director of [Acterra: Action for a Healthy Planet](https://acterra.org/), with two decades of nonprofit leadership in fundraising and philanthropy. She is a [Climate Reality Project](https://www.climaterealityproject.org/) Leader and a Senior Fellow of the [Environmental Leadership Program](https://elpnet.org/). **Agenda:** * 5:00 - 5:30 Check-in and networking * 5:30 - 6:30 Presentation and Q&A * 6:30 - 7:00 Open networking **About 9 Zero:** We're a members-only community of founders, investors, scientists, and innovators accelerating climate solutions through meaningful relationships.
