Solving Global Energy Challenges webinar

 We welcome you to watch the recording of the webinar. Top panelists discussed the challenges faced by the energy sector and our societies, and the solutions that will help us mitigate climate change.  Excellent discussion was at the heart of the matter: We need to have strong collaboration in all our efforts in solving Global energy challenges.

Invitation to solve Global Energy Challenges

The energy challenges that we and future generations face, if not solved quickly, will have serious consequences. The energy sectors of the world make our everyday lives possible, but at the same time they are the main contributors to global CO₂ emissions. Investments are the lifeblood of the global energy system and will eventually determine how successful we are in changing it into a less CO₂-intensive one. Global co-operation and policies are the enablers of this change. The information is there – what we need now is action!

We welcome you to watch the online webinar that was held June 15, 2020. The event was hosted by Timo Huhtisaari, Director Sustainability & Future Business, St1 Nordic Oy. See the panelists below.
