COVID-19 Impacts on Clean Energy Industry Survey

During the COVID-19 epidemic, we are seeking information on how clean energy businesses are being impacted and how we can best re-emerge into the economy when the public health crisis abates. Results will help inform recommendations to policymakers about the appropriate ways to assist the cleantech community. The survey is very brief and takes 3-4 minutes to complete.
