World Energy Congress
Under the theme of "Redesigning Energy for People and Planet," the World Energy Congress will address urgent challenges and explore innovative solutions in the energy sector. Against a backdrop of escalating climate change impacts and growing energy insecurity concerns, the congress will emphasize the crucial role of connected energy societies in driving global energy transitions. By placing people and the planet at the center of discussions, the event aims to inspire inclusive and sustainable energy solutions.
