Overview

The world stands on the threshold of a historic opportunity. The arrival of the new US President on the world stage, with a pledge to support the transition to a low carbon future, provides a vital stimulus to numerous policy initiatives around the world. Furthermore an agreement in climate change negotiations in Copenhagen could provide the much needed impetus for investment in low carbon and clean energy technologies. Progress is being made, but success is far from assured. Can an equitable solution be found within climate change negotiations? Can the dream of sustainable energy development survive the current global economic turmoil? What does a plausible alternative energy plan look like, and how will the pressures of climate, carbon and credit transform the competitive landscape of the global energy industry? 

The FT-WEC Energy Leaders Summit will explore and debate these issues from the frontline perspective of global energy companies, emerging clean energy players, and critically, the governments and financiers charged with bridging the gap between new energy research and the marketplace, tomorrow's vision and today's resource reality.
