While “renewable energy” and “sustainable energy” are often used interchangeably, they have subtle nuances that make a world of difference. This panel will explore these differences by discussing the sustainability of the clean energy transition, the extractive nature of renewable energy technologies, and how industry leaders are thinking about these factors. What elements need to be put in place, both upstream and downstream, to ensure the clean energy system is both sustainable and equitable to all stakeholders involved?
This panel will be moderated by Martin Dietrich Brauch (Senior Legal and Economics Researcher at CCSI).
Panelists include:
-Dr. Tegan Blaine, Director, Climate, Environment & Conflict at the United States Institute of Peace
-Morgan Bazilian, Director at Payne Institute & Professor of Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines
