The aim of this FPC and Vattenfall event is to critically explore the challenges and opportunities presented by improving energy productivity and securing environmental sustainability. The event will critically explore the challenges faced by governments, business leaders, individual households and wider civil society in improving energy efficiency. The forum will address how the world can accelerate its investments in the clean technologies necessary to reduce carbon emissions, thus making renewable energy much more affordable for the future. It will also explore the best ways of undertaking the more costly tasks associated with taking immediate action to cut emissions today. More importantly, the event hopes to showcase global leadership models which promote energy efficiency.
