The Energy 2.0 UNconference Is where industry leaders, innovators, scientists and policymakers come together to discuss the future of energy. This year's theme is 'Netzero: A Race We Can All Win,' reflecting the urgent need to transition towards a net-zero economy and the growing consensus that this transition is achievable, but requires significant effort and collaborative action.

The global climate crisis is a pressing issue that requires innovative solutions and a concerted effort from all sectors of society. In this UN conference, we aim to explore the current state of the energy industry and identify the key challenges, opportunities, and innovations that can accelerate the transition toward a net-zero economy.

We believe that this is a race we can all win, and we have the knowledge, technology, and resources to make it happen. We invite you to join us for a day of thought-provoking discussions, engaging debates, and insightful presentations that will inspire you and equip you with the tools and strategies to address the challenges posed by the energy transition.

Our speakers are experts in their fields and will share their latest research, findings, and insights about the net-zero economy. We are committed to creating a dynamic and interactive platform for all attendees to participate in and contribute to the conversation. We encourage you to share your ideas, ask questions, and collaborate with others.

Join us online or in person for what will be an inspiring yet action-packed un-conference

Everyone who joins us in person will get a copy of the Carbon Almanac. 

When it comes to the climate, we don’t need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.

The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action. Yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics. And a shift from thinking about climate change as a “me” problem to a “we” problem. 
 
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. Drawing on over 1,000 data points, the book uses cartoons, quotes, illustrations, tables, histories, and articles to lay out carbon’s impact on our food system, ocean acidity, agriculture, energy, biodiversity, extreme weather events, the economy, human health, and best and worst-case scenarios. Visually engaging and built to share, The Carbon Almanac is the definitive source of facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.
