The Environmental Concerns Speaker Series

Monday April 8, 2019, 7:30-9:00p.m. Belmont Village, 1100 San Pablo Avenue, Albany, CA

Pierre Delforge, Senior Scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), discussed local and state policy opportunities to accelerate progress toward a decarbonized world including the California Energy Commission’s latest report that puts Building Decarbonization front and center for the first time, representing a bold – and necessary – shift in energy priorities. It could also save Californians hundreds of dollars annually on their utility bills and create 3.3 million local jobs by 2050.

Pierre Delforge, Senior Scientist for Building Decarbonization, Climate and Clean Energy Program, joined NRDC in 2010 after a 20-year career in the technology industry. At NRDC, he works on policies to accelerate the clean energy transition in buildings, with a focus on decarbonizing space heating, water heating, and plug-in equipment.
