Building a Green Economy For All
The world is watching. We are at a course-correcting, critical moment in history as we challenge the status quo in our path toward decarbonization. Over the last 12 months, soaring energy prices and the war in Ukraine have dramatically reshaped the global energy landscape and once again, highlighted the need to transition towards clean energy. We need to look at a diverse range of sources to power our future and we cannot wait.
At Building a Green Economy for All, we ask: which sources are accessible and affordable and can achieve scale? What emerging technologies will be the most disruptive? Who is investing in and manufacturing these sources and will we be able to balance the need for cleaner resources with energy security concerns?
July 28 - Friday
Registration and Networking
Building a Green Economy For All
5:30 PM BST – Opening Remarks
5:35 PM BST – Panel Discussion: Driving Climate Equity
Climate change will not equally affect different communities and areas. Record inflation, unprecedentedly high energy prices, and a cost of living crisis are now exacerbating the problem. What are the roles of the public and private sectors, and how can they respond to and mitigate the direct impact of climate change on the more vulnerable groups? How can technology help in scaling up affordable and diverse sources of energy? What needs to be done to bolster climate and economic resiliency and bring accessible green power to rural and disadvantaged communities?
