The quest for green energy is taking off like never before, sparking a growing demand for solar cells, wind energy and rechargeable batteries. But the rapidly emerging mining and hydroelectric projects often have severe consequences for local communities and vulnerable population groups.

Join Dan Esty of Yale University for what promises to be a lively conversation about the role of systems thinking, Information Technologies, incentives for innovation, market-based policy mechanisms, and corporate sustainability more broadly in delivering a sustainable future. The lecture will consist of Dan’s presentation and will be followed by a discussion with Stefano Ponte from Centre for Business and Development Studies at CBS. The session will be moderated by Jeremy Moon, the CBS Sustainability Director.
