The global pandemic of COVID-19 has transformed the landscape for 2020 and beyond with drastic impacts on public health and the global economy. For many it has given pause for thought and provided a new perspective on how to tackle the other global crisis, climate change. In June, the International Energy Agency published their World Energy Outlook Special Report on Sustainable Recovery, giving governments a “once-in-a-lifetime” roadmap to sustainably rebuild their economies following COVID-19. The plan demonstrates that 9 million jobs could be created by developing a resilient and cleaner energy system whilst driving economic growth. The Center on Global Energy Policy will bring together a panel of experts to discuss the road to a cleaner system and brighter economic future. Panelists include: –Andrew Kamau, Principal Secretary for Petroleum, Ministry of Petroleum & Mining, Republic of Kenya –Cheryl LaFleur, Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA –Maarten Wetselaar, Integrated Gas & New Energies Director, Shell Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Director of Sustainability, Technology, and Outlooks, International Energy Agency; Director, European Commission’s Directorate General for Energy –Moderated by Jason Bordoff, Founding Director, Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA — Advance registration is required.
