Global Future Council on the Future of Energy Transition
Council mission and objectives
With the current simultaneous global energy and climate crises, coupled with inflation and global conflicts, it has become increasingly clear that energy transition is moving too slow and a significant acceleration is needed. How can approaches to energy transition simultaneously balance affordability, energy security, and sustainability?
