The major industries that supply San Diego with power will be represented at a energy and climate change symposium this week.

The San Diego World Affairs Council is bringing together environmental nonprofits like the Center for Sustainable Energy with companies like San Diego Gas and Electric in an effort to form a meeting of the minds on power needs of the future.

The San Diego Symposium on Energy and Climate Change will be held this Wednesday, May 14 from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego.

The urgency of addressing human causes of climate change has long been apparent. To amplify this issue that's paramount to us all, KPBS has launched a Climate Change Desk to step up our coverage of this existential threat including reported stories and interviews with experts and newsmakers.
