Finding our way to a clean economy

Clean energy technology is here — so why isn’t it used more widely? Let’s take a closer look at what’s hampering our transition towards sustainability. With a focus on economics, politics, human behaviour, the environment, technology, and more, an expert panel guides us through what’s contributing to resistance or barriers to change. From costs and infrastructure to policies and social values, this webcast will help us determine how we can advance improvement of our world.
