Climate impacts society on local, regional and global scales. Both the impacts and the possible solutions to changing climate require resilience, innovation and cooperation across industries, as well as across sectors (public, private, and academic). The mission of many federal agencies dictates that those agencies have a role to play in addressing climate change and clean energy challenges. The magnitude of these challenges demands an accelerated and integrated approach to address societal needs and innovate technological solutions. But the unique mission of different agencies leads to approaches that may be distinctly different yet synergistic. Understanding that landscape can be challenging for academics and the private sector to navigate. This panel will represent perspectives from multiple government agencies to discuss the role each agency plays in catalyzing innovation and entrepreneurship and how different agencies support or encourage partnerships that include the private sector.
