“COP28 in Dubai was a wonderful chance to meet private, public, and nonprofit sector leaders working on climate change. I especially enjoyed witnessing U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry deliver a major policy announcement on fusion energy; it was an exciting step for the nation’s fusion future and my own policy career.”
