NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

RMI was born as Rocky Mountain Institute right here in the Roaring Fork Valley, sparked by Amory Lovins’ mission to radically improve America’s energy practices. Four decades later, energy remains core to our work even as our quest has grown: to transform the global energy system to secure a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all. Our mission is global with benefits for all, including those right here in the Roaring Fork Valley.

To learn how, join us at a live, intimate climate-and-cocktails event featuring Jon Creyts, RMI’s chief executive, along with a panel of global energy experts. In an open discussion, we’ll explore the connections between the global energy revolution and local transformations, with an eye on innovative climate financing. From the climate bill to multilateral funding, recent developments have changed how Roaring Fork Valley-based organizations can go green, while also catalyzing sustainable growth abroad, from the Caribbean to Africa and Asia.
