DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Energy Seminar has been a mainstay of energy engag
 ement at Stanford for nearly 20 years and is one of the flagship programs 
 of the Precourt Institute for Energy. We aim to bring a wide variety of pe
 rspectives to the Stanford community – academics\, entrepreneurs\, utili
 ties\, non-profits\, and more. \n\n \n\nAbout the talk\n\nCities generate 
 most of the world’s emissions—but they are also where many of the most
  innovative climate solutions are emerging. Drawing on her experience as M
 ayor of Oakland and her work with global networks of climate mayors\, Libb
 y Schaaf will discuss how cities shape energy demand through land use\, bu
 ildings\, and transportation\, and why urban leadership is essential to a 
 just energy transition and global sustainability. The talk will explore bo
 th the opportunities and the challenges cities face as they translate clim
 ate goals into real infrastructure and community change.\n \n\nLibby Schaa
 f served as the 50th Mayor of Oakland\, California from 2015 to 2022\, whe
 re she led major initiatives to expand housing\, reduce gun violence\, and
  advance climate and sustainability policies. Under her leadership\, Oakla
 nd became a national leader in clean energy\, electric vehicle adoption\, 
 and port decarbonization while growing its green economy. Schaaf represent
 ed U.S. cities in global climate efforts\, serving on U.S. delegations to 
 United Nations convenings on climate and sustainable development and colla
 borating with international networks of city leaders. She currently teache
 s public policy\, climate politics\, and public-private partnerships at UC
