Cities Making the Difference

Through Energy & Environmental Innovation

Hosting over one half of the world's population, cities account for more than 70 percent of global CO2 emissions and consume two thirds of the world's energy. Cities and regional municipalities can also serve as a valuable test bed for mayors, authorities and others pushing ahead innovative technologies to reduce energy usage and environmental risks.

Join New Jersey Technology Council as we explore energy mini grids, promotion of low carbon vehicles, waste to energy systems and comprehensive and standardized building codes. These efforts and others in New Jersey and the region can prove successful and continue to provide a more sustainable path to the future.

This program is designed for representatives of Energy and Environmental companies, elected officials and government employees and all interested in continuing to increase NJ and the region's environmental/energy footprint.

Panelists include:

Alex Dews, Policy and Program Manager, Mayor's Office of Sustainability, City of Philadelphia

Richard Dovey, President, Atlantic County Utilities Authority

Chuck Feinberg, Chairman, NJ Clean Cities Coalition

Dr. Sunil Garg, Executive Director, Union County Utilities Authority
Catherine Ward, City Attorney, City of Atlantic City

Two WorkGroups, Energy Efficiency and IT and Sustainability, will also be offered.

Hosted by:

The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey,

School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy
