Understanding Sustainable Energy: Systems for a Healthier Planet

Have you ever wondered about the true cost of flipping a light switch or running a tap? For centuries, our global energy has come from sources that are finite and increasingly harmful to the environment, but a different system is already within reach.

This session explores the fundamental shift from finite fossil fuels to sustainable energy systems that naturally refill themselves.
