Affordable Energy for Humanity: If Not Now, When?

Energy Poverty remains a major handicap to achieving human development goals. For a third of humanity without access to electricity or modern fuels, it is a notable failure of the existing global energy system that it delivers so very little to so many. Professor Jatin Nathwani, Ontario Research Chair in Public Policy for Sustainable Energy, University of Waterloo, will discuss the pathways to a low carbon energy future. The goal is to unlock scientific and technological innovations to deliver clean, low cost energy services to every global citizen.
