DESCRIPTION:2019-2020 MIT Climate Action Symposia Series\n\nThe third of MI
 T's six Climate Action Symposia\, Decarbonizing the Electricity Sector\, w
 ill be held on Wednesday\, December 4\, 2019. Topics will include:\n\ndeve
 lopments in solar energy\, energy storage\, and nuclear energy\;electrific
 ation in the building and transportation sectors\; andinnovation opportuni
 ties for zero-carbon electricity technologies in the coming decades.The Cl
 imate Action Symposia series aims to advance our community’s understandi
 ng and expand our capacity to generate solutions for the urgent global cha
 llenge of climate change. Over the 2019-2020 academic year\, the six sympo
 sia examine the current state of climate science and policy\, as well as p
 athways for decarbonization of the global economy. We will also look at ho
 w universities can and should contribute solutions\, including MIT’s eff
 orts under our Plan for Action on Climate Change.\n\nSchedule\, speaker bi
 os\, livestream\, and more will be available at climatesymposia.mit.edu.\n
