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.

CBB visionary lecture series: Tackling grand challenges in global health & development

The world’s challenges and targets for their solutions have recently been captured in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are intended to guide global action from 2015‐2030. Now, the focus is shifting from the strategy of developing and forging consensus around these goals to questions of implementation and execution regarding how these goals will be reached. In addressing this question, it is clear that innovation will be critical to reaching the SDGs.
