Understanding Energy & The Global Transition

​It's impossible to talk about climate change without understanding the fundamentals of energy and what will be required to transition our global energy system to a low-carbon one. Join this session to understand how energy is produced, delivered, and used, and how those activities affect climate outcomes, innovation opportunities, and investment decisions.
