Description :

Private and public institutions of today are grappling challenges of providing secure, affordable, and sustainable energy amidst growing demand, escalating costs and geopolitical tensions. 

While the cost of transiting to renewable energy sources has been the biggest barrier to the mainstreaming of sustainable energy thus far, this is no longer the case today. Cost reductions and scale, together with technology improvements in complementary clean energy solutions such as energy storage systems means that policymakers and investors could have clean energy solutions that can provide clean energy securely, and affordably.  

However, barriers to entry continue to exist, and unlocking clean, affordable, and secure energy sources will require comprehensive strategies that take into account all aspects of the energy system. 

Lord Nicholas Stern will share the opportunities and challenges of building energy security through the energy transition in this fireside chat.
