One World Week 2012 | The World's Largest Student-run International Event
Arguably one of the greatest challenges to face the global community is how to power our future. In a world entirely dependent on finite resources, how will the global economy survive and thrive when fossil fuels run out? What are the environmental and scientific implications of our insatiable thirst for oil? What energy sources will rise from the ashes to meet our growing demand? Can we find a green answer to this burning question?
Our expert panel will moot answers to these questions in our debate on the future of energy. They will consider energy security, new technology, the environment and the economy. Come along to have your say in the global debate.
