STANFORD KYOTO TRANS-ASIAN DIALOGUE 2009
Energy, Environment, and Economic Growth in Asia
- Purpose
- The Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) is launching a new multi-year dialogue aimed at enhancing cooperative approaches to issues of common concern among nations in the Asia-Pacific region. Our inaugural gathering in 2009 will focus on the critical nexus of energy and environment. We will examine how to meet the rapidly growing demand for energy throughout Asia while coping with the threat of climate change, amid a global economic downturn.
The dialogue will bring together distinguished experts from Stanford and Silicon Valley, top specialists from around the region, and leaders in various fields such as business, politics, academia, and media. The meeting will begin with an exploration of the influence of energy competition on international relations in Asia. After establishing the geopolitical context the group will explore new ideas on how to promote energy efficiency, clean technology, and the reduction of carbon emissions. - Date
