Please join CELI and E2 during San Francisco Climate Week for a discussion on how California’s policies and private and public investments are generating new opportunities to advance clean energy solutions, create green jobs, and build economic growth. Leading clean energy and climate tech investors Nancy Pfund (DBL Partners) and Samantha Grassle (Elemental Impact) will share their perspectives on California’s evolving clean energy sector and the key innovation and investment trends they’re tracking. We’ll also be joined by the former regulator of one of the most powerful agencies in the country, the California Air Resources Board. Former Chair Liane Randolph will highlight state action driving innovation, including the leveraging of the bedrock Cap-and-Invest program, and reflect on the important intersection between policymakers, innovators, and investors to ensure a robust clean energy ecosystem.

Please join us in San Francisco for CELI’s fifth annual 5K fundraiser, the 2026 Golden Gate Run for Clean Energy. As part of San Francisco Climate Week, we’re bringing together a diverse group of organizations, individuals, and families committed to a clean energy future. 

Together, we aim to raise $50,000 for CELI’s work advancing clean energy leadership. We’d love to have you be part of this special day—whether you’re racing, strolling, or volunteering alongside our community. In addition to the 5K, participating organizations will host tables to connect with attendees, followed by informal conversations at a nearby coffee shop.

Join E2, CELI, Greenlight America, and Midwest Sustainability Network for a timely conversation on how local leaders are driving climate and clean energy progress. 

Despite uncertainty, together we're finding smart ways to advocate for policies and projects that are good for the economy and good for the environment. This event will highlight how businesses and communities are advancing solutions on the ground by moving clean energy projects forward, building local momentum, and working in collaboration with public officials. 

CELI’s Virtual Town Hall will share key leadership updates, reaffirm our mission, and invite input from our community as we plan what’s next.

Please join CELI, E2 and our partners during San Francisco Climate Week for a discussion with leading clean economy policy and industry innovators. We’ll hear about cutting edge energy policy innovation from CA state Senator Josh Becker, and leaders of a cleantech business accelerator and a nonprofit advocacy organization on the frontlines of the clean economy. And together, we’ll learn how we can take action to keep clean energy progress going despite setbacks in Washington, D.C.
