This year, the Lecture will be on "The Climate Reality Project" with guest speaker Bill McKinley, Strategic Solutions Business Lead from Keysight Technologies, and part of the growing Climate Reality Leadership team.

"With glaciers melting, seas rising, and 16 of the 17 hottest years on record coming this century, we know humanity must change and act boldly to solve the climate crisis. The good news is that we know we can. Solar, wind, and other renewable solutions are becoming more affordable every year. And all around the world, countries from China to Chile are seizing the moment, working to cut emissions under the Paris Agreement and create a safe, sustainable, and prosperous future powered by clean energy.

At Climate Reality, our job is to ensure we will. Led by former Vice President Gore and CEO Ken Berlin, we use twenty-first century digital tools and activist trainings to share the truth about the crisis and empower everyday people to become powerful forces for change.

The result: nearly 15,200 Climate Reality Leader activists spreading climate hope and confronting denial everywhere from street corners to the White House. A growing movement of millions speaking truth to power and fighting for climate solutions at every level. A clean energy revolution accelerating planet-wide.

The road forward is clear for Engineers of all disciplines. The power to change is in our hands. A sustainable future is in reach. Join us, and together, we’ll make it a reality."
