Welcome to the CLEWS Climate Tech Seminar Series, where we are excited to embark on a journey of collaboration, innovation, and exploration towards solving one of the most pressing challenges of our time – climate change. As we gear up for the upcoming spring quarter, we reflect on the successes of the past year while eagerly anticipating the enriching experiences and insights that the coming year holds.
At CLEWS (Climate, Land, Energy, Water Solutions), our mission is clear: to facilitate collaboration and innovation towards interdisciplinary climate solutions. Climate science forms the bedrock of climate tech, and it is our unwavering goal to spotlight the diverse perspectives and expertise that converge within this dynamic field.
In our previous seminar series, we were privileged to host an array of thought leaders, experts, and visionaries who illuminated the landscape of climate tech with their knowledge and passion.
From groundbreaking entrepreneurs to seasoned venture capitalists, each speaker brought unique insights into the intersections of science, policy, and innovation. See our last year marvelous speakers below!
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
