This is a thought-provoking nonpartisan presentation on the dual challenge facing ‘Spaceship Earth’ with 8 billion people ‘on deck’: energy for all and environmental protection. 2.4 billion people need access to clean cooking, global GHG emissions must be reduced, and ambient and indoor pollution must be removed as this causes millions to die prematurely each year, mostly in low-income countries. There are no simple solutions, but this is all solvable if we act as one team engaging in a civil dialogue where we challenge each other, always insisting on not leaving anyone behind.
