Join us to hear stories from business leaders in Chicago on the frontlines of the American business revolution. An inclusive green economy is taking root across the country and across Chicago-land. Since the passage of landmark federal climate policy passed two years ago, companies have announced more than 300 major clean energy projects across the country. These projects will create more than 100,000+ good-paying jobs, drive $120 billion in investments—and some are right here in our backyard in Illinois.
You’ll hear from E2’s executive director Bob Keefe about his new book Clean Economy NOW, which lays out how game-changing U.S. climate policies are driving the biggest economic revolution we’ve seen in generations—and why it’s now all at risk.
