How can Smart eMobility help overcome climate change? This is the theme of our S4C program around the Global Climate Action Summit 2018, taking place in San Francisco from September 12- 14, 2018. The Summit, an initiative of Governor Brown, will bring together leaders from state and local governments, business, and citizens from around the world, to demonstrate how the tide has turned in the race against climate change, showcase climate action taking place around the world, and inspire deeper commitments from each other and from national governments—in support of the Paris Agreement
The Action Summit is a great background for the affiliate Smart eMobility events and networking with US partners taking place during that week. Furthermore, the Netherlands is working on a broad representation of the Dutch government at the summit and during the Smart eMobility events, organized this week by S4C in California. Please be invited to join us at the Coast-to-Coast Smart eMobility program
