Energy Buddhism – when everything is connected with everything
What is the energy transition really about? How are energy and conflict - or peace - related? What is wrong with the current design of the energy market? What are the large crises, and the major opportunities that the energy transition presents to us? What influence does the internet have on the design of a future proof energy system? Arash Aazami’s talk will lead you through various perspectives on the energy system and the transition that it is currently undergoing. It will provide a remarkably positive and hope-giving view on our energy future. It will also provide insights on what we can do ourselves to contribute to a futureproof energy system that increases autonomy, liberates people and is inspired by nature itself in its design.
