Closing Plenary
Setup
Welcome to closing session! A developer explains how his solar city stayed online in a hurricane, an energy policy expert weighs in on how decarbonization tips the scales of global power, and a photographer shares images of indigenous land defenders. A special advisor to the U.N shares how developing countries can get the resources to be more resilient, biodiversity experts expand on policies to protect species on land and at sea, and a climate skeptic tells us why he changed his mind.
