Sustainability and Clean Energy

Climate change and sustainability are key issues in both Germany and the United States, with extreme weather conditions—resulting in floods and fires—affecting populations on both sides of the Atlantic. Our programs bring together alumni with expertise in all aspects of sustainability and clean energy. In addition, we showcase our participation in partnered events on clean energy—electric vehicles, solar power, sustainable cities and look forward to engaging our alumni and partners on these topics.
