2nd Asia-Arab Sustainable Energy Forum

[سوسن-سوسن]

Second Asia-Africa Forum of Sustainable Energy, which includes the 4th International workshop on Sahara Solar Breeder, will take place on May 15 & 16, 2012 in Oran, Algeria. We hope to welcome all of you in the beautiful city of Oran in May !

Energy security, Economic growth and Environmental protection are the national energy policy drivers of any country of the world. Moreover, energy is central to achieving the interrelated economic, social, and environmental aims of sustainable human development, the renewable energies.

The financial, energy and climate crises are individually serious issues, but in combination their impact could be catastrophic for the global economy.

Even as we move into a global economic downturn there are growing calls from scientist, economist and politicians for an accelerated transformation towards low carbon energy supply and resource productive economies. To move forward will require new and more efficient solutions, technologies and products alongside behavioural change.

Scenarios to create a vision for the future of global energy supply, such as the Sahara Solar Breeder project being not only an energy solution but an integrated community, socio-economic, industrial, agricultural, environmental, and science and technology development solution, will guide decision makers and help understand the limitations of our ‘mental maps’ of the world – to think the unthinkable, anticipate the unknowable and utilise both to make better strategic decisions so that the progress serves better the future of the humanity.
