MA policymakers & stakeholders: Discover the Massachusetts Energy Explorer, a new tool to guide the state’s clean energy transition.
Learn about the Massachusetts Energy Explorer, an engaging storytelling platform designed to highlight progress, trends, and challenges around the clean energy transition at the state and municipal level.
The purpose of this session is to introduce policymakers and stakeholders to the Massachusetts Energy Explorer, a new data platform that will support their efforts to understand the state of the clean energy transition in the Commonwealth, and to identify drivers, best practices, opportunities, and trends. Data visualizations can reveal how the Commonwealth’s energy system can be transformed to reduce inequity, steer communities from climate impacts, improve health and other social outcomes, and lead to healthier natural systems.
The target audience for this event is government officers, clean energy project managers, data analysts, and decision-makers involved in the implementation and oversight of clean energy policies and projects in Massachusetts.
The Explorer is a new product of the Clean Energy and Environment Legacy Transition (CELT) Initiative, a partnership to advance an equitable energy transition in Massachusetts, focusing on supporting state agencies and municipalities through actionable data and fellowship programs. The Healey-Driscoll Administration, UMass Lowell, and the Boston University Institute for Global Sustainability collaborate on CELT.
At BU, the CELT project leaders are Cutler Cleveland (Professor, Earth & Environment & Associate Director, IGS), M. Patricia Fabian (Professor, Environmental Health & IGS Associate Director), Emily Ryan (Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering & IGS Associate Director)
