Sustainable Energy for All: this year, next year, sometime – or never? (20 Nov 2012)

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2012

Prof Paul Ekins, Professor of Resources and Environmental Policy, Director, UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources

What does ‘sustainable energy for all’ mean? How much energy, ‘sustainable’ over what period, and who are the ‘all’? If this ambitious goal is achievable, then how can it be done, and by when? And who will pay for achieving it? To mark the UN International Year of Sustainable Energy for all, this lecture explores the environmental, economic, and social issues raised by these questions and the implications for public policy.
