PANEL
In the words of the UN Secretary-General, “It is time to flick the ‘green switch’. We have a chance to not simply reset the world economy but to transform it.” From decarbonization to renewable energy, this panel will explore how the next industrial revolution can be the great energy transition. It will dive into what net zero actually means, warn against greenwashing attempts, and lay out the investment case for how sustainable energy will impact lives everywhere, especially marginalized and disenfranchised communities. While renewable energy is only one piece of the climate mitigation and adaptation puzzle, it is a pivotal piece to keeping the 1.5-degree Celsius target within reach.
