Low-Carbon Energy Transitions Workshop Starts This Week!
Many countries are striving to transition to energy sources that produce less atmospheric carbon. This transition has been economically and technologically challenging for many nations, but there are exceptions. Countries such as Iceland (geothermal), Denmark (wind) and France (nuclear) have been pathfinders — navigating this transition early, and making remarkable transformations in their energy supplies in relatively short time periods.
This workshop will dive into the specific and varied experiences of these three countries. What were the drivers that set these nations on alternative energy paths? And what role did national policy, innovation and technology development play in helping navigate successful transitions?
Join us for the first workshop in the series, “.”
