We will explore dilemma’s like:
- Why is Holland last on the EU list in sustainable energy production together with Malta and Cyprus
- Hot buttons: all vegan and no flights, CO2 tax, more nuclear energy, birth control, or just wait for innovation
- What is the role of innovation in the energy transition, and what is the role of government in innovation?
- Is climate change a geopolitical risk and should we treat it as a military problem?
- Who drives change? Politicians? Corporate boards and investors? Or Generation Z?
