We are excited to open our doors to all of you –curious minds, researchers, policymakers, and professionals.
Our journey to a carbon-free, more prosperous and equitable world will rely on the engagement and participation of all. We hope that you will want to join us here to help create solutions where all three goals are met.
Today, while many are benefiting from increasingly cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, at work, at home or on the road, more remain unable to participate, with limited prospects to ever do so.
In developed nations, where road transportation represents almost 15% of total emissions, decarbonization will be jeopardized by the majority whose access to electric vehicles remains elusive.
In developing nations, economic growth, which relies heavily on fossil fuels will be the culprit. The impact will be global, leaving little chance for meeting any climate goal; the alternative being to trap hundreds of millions in economic and energy poverty.
Unless everyone participates, we will not come close to global decarbonization, and this will not happen unless the benefits are broadly shared.
Getting there will be difficult technically, politically, and socially. We need to put our best thinking forward to solve a broad range of problems and drive meaningful progress.
Here, we hope to create a space for everyone to contribute knowledge, discuss, learn and grow.
Please remember to be respectful and considerate of others' perspectives. Our goal is not to "win" arguments or undermine others, but to debate constructively and deepen our ability to shape our future.
Welcome and thank you!
