Session ID#: 20634

Session Description:
The panel will present economic, scientific and industry viewpoints on future energy demand, the shifting energy mix/energy trade offs and the economic, social, and political drivers of those shifts in a post Paris COP 21 world. Questions to be explored include: How does the work to meet COP21 agreements get done on the ground? Where are the trade-offs in the energy mix that will allow for rapid decarbonization without undermining economic growth and electrification in developing nations like India? And what role can scientists play in asking and answering key questions in achieving this massive transition?
