Also Happening At Yale

• Water Markets in Texas: Challenge and Opportunity - Wednesday, March 9th, 12:00pm. Over the next 30 years, Texas's population is set to double, driving a projected 35 percent increase in municipal water demand. While cities and industries are well-positioned to capture the water they'll need to enable this growth, downstream water users such as agricultural producers, rural communities, and our rivers and bays are less water-secure than ever before. Avoiding these potential water shortages will require investments that transcend sectors and enable innovative tools that will work in Texas' pro-property rights culture. Join CBEY for a conversation with Dr. Quinn McColly, Conservation Finance Director at Texas Water Trade, about how Texas Water Trade leverages market mechanisms to protect water for rural communities and nature. His talk will cover Texas’ regulatory landscape, the need to restore groundwater and surface water flows, and how water markets are one potential tool to do so. Learn more and register here.

• Yale Clean Energy Conference - Friday, April 1 - Saturday, April 2. Join the SOM Energy Club, CBEY, and other Yale-affiliated energy folks for the inaugural Yale Clean Energy Conference! The theme this year is Renewables Integration & Grid Modernization for a Clean Energy Future. Numerous Yale stakeholders have combined forces to bring together leading clean energy experts for this global, public, event. Utilize and deepen your knowledge of clean energy justice, finance, technology, policy, and careers. Network with members of the Yale, Financing and Deploying Clean Energy, and global clean energy communities. Learn more and register here.
