Carbon is more than mere waste. Through nature and innovation, it can be transformed into the building blocks of a resilient world. On the eve of the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, scientists, innovators, and policymakers will come together to discuss the transformations happening across sectors to build an economy that sequesters more than it emits. A short program will feature remarks and announcements from distinguished speakers, followed by a reception with carbon-conscious food and drink. This invite-only event will be hosted at The Perennial in San Francisco.
