Opening Plenary
Setup
It’s opening night! Miami Beach’s Mayor and the Aspen Institute’s CEO get things started. A meteorologist explores how scientific insight leads to public action, a chemist makes the case for 3D printing as a waste reduction tool, and a congresswoman makes an announcement. A renowned rock climber shares how athletes can be activists, a top climate investor tells us what’s on his priority list, then a Republican congressman and an energy CEO address crucial technologies and congressional gridlock. To close, Miami's Mayor Suarez shares parting thoughts.
