Grateful to @Angelica Ramdhari for leading an insightful session on energy storage & resilience! Your expertise brilliantly built upon our previous discussions on energy fundamentals and grid technologies. Energy is essential to modern life, and with the impacts of climate change, it's crucial to learn more about storage technologies and how we can build resilience. 🌟🔋 #EnergyStorage #Resilience #ClimateChange #Energy

CELI's impressive alumni work hard to decarbonize our energy systems AND they give back to the community! These three individuals joined the EDICT program to share their insights and experiences with the current cohort of interns. Thank you Alexandra Johnson, Patrick Owusu, and Shiyana G. for all that you do and sharing your time and insights with the next generation of climate leaders!

EDICT Interns had the privilege of hearing from Akhilesh Ramakrishnan on the topic of grid technologies and energy fundamentals! Thank you Akhilesh for sharing your time and expertise with the current EDICT cohort. And, shout-out to CELI alumni, Long Lam, who passed the torch this year to his colleague on a workshop he's developed over the last three years.

This year, we kicked off #EDICT2024 with a session on energy and environmental justice led by CELI alum, and EDICT partnership director, Rozina Kanchwala. The session brought to light how historical policies and injustices continue to impact frontline communities. Throughout the summer, interns will hear from leaders in the clean energy and environmental space and we want to ensure that principles of #justice are central to each conversation.

Clean Energy Leadership Institute is so proud to welcome the fourth and latest #EDICT (Empowering Diverse Climate Talent) cohort! Alongside our incredible partners Elemental Excelerator and FutureMap, and all the host companies, we have built an on-ramp into clean energy and climate jobs to increase participation from traditionally excluded groups in this burgeoning economy that is here to stay! #EDICT is a business-workforce partnership, an important systemic intervention towards realizing a just, equitable, resilient clean energy future. EDICT matches employers, who take the EDICT Pledge, with summer interns to support the skills and network development of rising undergraduate and recent graduates and to empower climate organizations in creating inclusive cultures. Click through to learn more about the newest EDICT cohort!🎉 These 72 amazing interns are set to make a difference at 52 climate companies this summer! 🌱✨ Our gallery is now live on our website.

The Clean Energy Leadership Institute has supported over 1,200 #CELIFellows over the last ten years, and our #alumni are doing remarkable work. Today is #NationalBikeMonth, and we want to highlight Rozina Kanchwala who has put together our first Climate Ride, and so much more! Not only does Rozina Kanchwala lead CELI's EDICT partnership, but she is the founder and executive director of Eco.Logic Programs, a playwright, an artist, an activist, and one who continues to learn about all things to do with plants and land stewardship. She also bikes!!! Most importantly, Rozina is someone who makes this world a better place, every single day. Her action is inspiring, and she leads with her values at every turn. Today, we are biking to raise funds for #equity and #access in our educational programs. Can you chip in $15 to join Clean Energy Leadership Institute and Eco.Logic Programs to get us closer to our goal? We ride May 18 & May 19 in Northern California, and your support will give us momentum going up those #hills: https://lnkd.in/gFBH8S_9 Super excited to be biking alongside Rozina Kanchwala, Zahra Lalani, Troy Hodges, Steve Chan, Casey Timmerman, Allison Cooper, Justin Gilbert, Kristina Norris, and Priya Patil!
