Spurred by the desire for greater energy security, climate change mitigation, long-term energy affordability, and the transition to a clean energy economy we are starting to see the federal government, Congress, the international community and the global business community move towards putting a price on carbon. Whether you’re growing and attracting clean tech energy companies in your community, or developing new partnerships towards energy efficiency, understanding the cap and trade connection is vital.

Join IEDC on March 25th for a free web seminar to gain better grasp on carbon pricing, cap and trade and an understanding on some of the economic development opportunities and challenges surrounding these policy areas. By attending this web seminar, you will have the opportunity to:
• Explore how economic development can transition and prepare for an increasingly low-carbon economy
• Discover what economic development opportunities and challenges are presented from carbon pricing
• Hear what various states are doing to prepare as well as IEDC’s ongoing research in this area as part of our grant from The Energy Foundation.

Expert Speakers:

Fred Mondragón: Cabinet Secretary: New Mexico Economic Development
Brendan Miller: Green Economy Manager: New Mexico Economic Development Department
