91丝瓜视频 Law graduate and Yale World Fellow John Haffner, a clean energy consultant currently based in Beijing, will be discussing "China and Climate Change: Where are we heading?" The dialogue will center on the following six questions:
- Why do scientists keep saying the next decade may be our last chance?
- What are the major impediments to our making any progress?
- How quickly could China alter its high carbon path?
- What is reasonable to ask of China?
- What is reasonable to ask of Canada in return?
- Once we accept the climate science, what should we do?
John Haffner is a compelling, deeply informed speaker and author who has been engaged practically on these issues first at a leading energy utility and most recently in developing the business case for renewable energy.
