The Society for the Environment is please to Support the Energy Institute’s series of events under the theme of ‘Energy in Transition – towards a low carbon future’ which will focus on efforts towards achieving a sustainable energy future. Energy is in a transitional phase where our ability to balance supply and demand, whilst minimising the impact on the environment, is critical to the prosperity and wellbeing of future generations.
This 3-day programme of events will provide a forum for leaders in energy thinking and technologies and comprises three conferences discussing 'Reducing demand, increasing efficiency', ‘Sustainable energy supply’ and 'Climate Change and Energy Security’, the prestigious Melchett Lecture, and the EI Annual Summer Lunch.
Held 8-10 July 2008 at the Institute of Directors, London, these events will have a real interactivity to them and will ask delegates to vote on the issues; with a view to reporting the key findings to policy makers. Confirmed speakers include:
