Join Dynamic Sustainability Lab and NECEC for the second session of the Boston Sustainability Symposiums!

The EV transition brings with it a unique set of challenges for state and local governments including financial, operational, and socio-economic. The Dynamic Sustainability Lab in partnership with Northeast Clean Energy Council (NECEC) is developing a national Guidebook for Local Governments. The research team will provide an overview of the forthcoming Guidebook at this event.
