Join the Commonwealth Club on October 18, 2021, for a critical discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world seeks to end this public health crisis, businesses are navigating mandates and playing a vital role in community safety and vaccination efforts.

A panel of business and healthcare leaders, generously supported by Kaiser Permanente, will explore how the private sector can collaborate to combat the pandemic and foster economic recovery. They will discuss effective strategies and responses to mandates.

The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's largest public affairs forum, hosts this event. For more information, upcoming events, and to support our mission, visit commonwealthclub.org.

Our country faces a climate emergency, marked by deadly heatwaves, droughts, and extreme storms. This crisis is largely driven by pollution from fossil fuel transportation.

President Biden must set ambitious clean car standards strong enough to protect our climate. However, big auto companies are pushing for loophole-riddled rules, weaker than those agreed to in 2012.

Join us to urge Biden to stand up to automakers and adopt the world's strongest clean car standards: www.CleanCarsNow.org

Maritime transportation emits a billion tonnes of CO2 annually, facing new IMO regulations to cut emissions by 50% by 2050. Traditional electric boats struggle with limited range due to water

Maritime transportation emits a billion tonnes of CO2 annually, facing new IMO regulations to cut emissions by 50% by 2050. Traditional electric boats struggle with limited range due to water density, hindering industry innovation.

This talk introduces a revolutionary boat class, combining America’s Cup hydrofoiling, Formula One electric drivetrains, and aerospace flight control. Hydrofoils lift the hull, reducing drag by over 90% and dramatically extending range. This technology promises to revolutionize maritime transport with improved comfort, quiet operation, and zero wake.

Katrina, an aeronautical engineer, leads efforts at Artemis Technologies and the Belfast Maritime Consortium to develop these zero-emission passenger ferries. This presentation was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
