We are so excited to welcome you back to session three of the American Innovation and Abundance Stream.

So count yourselves amongst the lucky. You are here and getting ready to make it happen.

So this chapter of our abundance agenda and the conversation is about capacity.

So we've talked to big picture. We've talked to innovators, climate investors.

Now we're looking at the machinery that actually makes it happen.

So, you know, at Climate Group North America, we've been really thinking a lot about that gap.

So what is the narrative that we need in such a, shall we say, changing time.

And how do we adapt, knowing that, honestly, every single day we have leaders who are taking

steps forward, who are using their resources and positive directions and really multiplying

their impact.

But government is a really critical piece of that.

So session

three is really going to be focused on the governance capacity to deliver. So who are the people?

There are policy leaders, legal innovators, local officials. They're not really in the conversation

of are we, should we, what has to happen? They're talking about designing projects. They're talking

about permitting structures. They're talking about finance and speeding up implementation. As part of

this, you're also going to play a very important role for this session. So congratulations to you

guys. You even know, you are the live audience of a taping of the Sirens podcast. So that's also going to be a part

of this conversation. You're going to hear from Carol Browner, who of course has many titles,

but is our former and longest service serving EPA administrator, Jordan Diamond, president of

E.L.I. And vice mayor, Nancy Metair Bowen. And there will all be in conversation with the incredible Lauren Schulman on how we rebuild national capacity from the ground up.

Please welcome them to the stage now.
