Monday Keynote Luncheon: Energy, Climate, Poverty and Prosperity
Monday, 23 September, 1200 – 1330
Join Chris Wright for a thoughtful dialogue surrounding the world energy system, climate change, and the inevitable trade-offs between the two. Energy enables everything humans do. Everything. The last two centuries of increased energy access have more than doubled global human life expectancy and dramatically shrunk severe poverty. Yet only about a billion lucky people live highly energized lives. What does the future hold for the other seven billion people?
