Governor's Global Climate Summit

On November 16, 2010, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the University of California, Davis, hosted the third annual Governors’ Global Climate Summit in Davis, California. At this conference, it was  announced that an alliance of public-private entities, R20, had been formed to help speed the growth of the green economy. The group will work to execute low-carbon and climate-resilient projects through collaboration with state, local, and regional governments.

The event brought in more than 1,500 attendees from over 80 states, provinces, and nations. During the final session of the conference, our very own Greg Trimarche presented Governor Schwarzenegger with the CleanTech OC 2010 Visionary Award. This honor was created to highlight an individual whose contributions have had a significant impact on the clean technology industry in Orange County and throughout California. “Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California has passed groundbreaking legislation and has positioned itself as a leader in innovation and economic growth in the renewable energy and clean technology sectors for years to come,” said Trimarche.
