WHAT: Solar
One Green Energy, Arts and Education Center, represents a
pioneering concept in New York City, providing visitors and
residents with public programs about energy efficiency,
renewable energy, green building and urban ecology. It is
located on the East River between 23rd and 18th
Streets in Stuyvesant Cove Park. Funds raised will support
Solar One’s award winning environmental programs about
public awareness, energy efficiency and conservation as well
as educational study in the Park. NYC Department of
Education and Solar One recently launched the Green Design
Lab, a sustainability and environmental K-12 educational
program in 30 New York City public schools. The students
focus on greening their school building with hands on
projects such as rooftop gardens, building performance and
energy efficiency, air quality, waste conservation,
schoolyard habitats and non-toxic cleaners

HONOREES:
JIGAR SHAH
Jigar Shah is an
entrepreneur and visionary committed to leveraging the next
economy, which he has recognized as The Impact Economy™.
Shah has noted that a global “Impact Economy” is one in
which mainstream investors team up with corporations,
entrepreneurs, and governments to solve the big
environmental and social problems of our time while
generating compelling financial returns.
Today, he is CEO of Jigar Shah Consulting and a board member
of the CWR. He works closely with some of the world's
leading influencers and guides policy makers around the
globe on key issues to implement solutions for global
warming and sustainability that will unlock that next
trillion dollar impact economy. During Shah's tenure, he was
a trailblazer in helping build the organization into one of
global importance.
His was the Founder of SunEdison; today the world's
leading solar services company. The SunEdison business model
remains an important catalyst that turned solar into a
multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. From 2009 to 2012,
Shah served as the first CEO of the CWR.
CARBON WAR ROOM
The Carbon War Room (CWR), an independent non-profit founded
by Sir Richard Branson, harnesses the power of entrepreneurs
to unlock market-driven solutions to climate change. Over
50% of the climate change challenge can be addressed today -
and profitably - under existing policy and technology
conditions. The CWR seeks to facilitate a better flow of
capital to entrepreneurial solutions that make economic
sense right now. The CWR brings together entrepreneurs,
business leaders, policy experts, researchers, and thought
leaders to unlock market-driven solutions.
