Conference

Inaugural

The Energy Pact Foundation has been established to serve as a meeting point to facilitate the airing of the perspectives and interests of different communities and stakeholders — whether the North, the South, governments, international organizations, NGOs, business and finance, scholars, scientists, engineers, thinkers, and common citizens, in the hope that this will contribute to the evolving process of dealing with the energy-environment-development issues in an integrated manner and as a single global challenge.

“All together we will demonstrate that climate change can be transformed from one of mankind's biggest perils into one of humanity's most promising challenges.”
