Venue: Carlton Connect Initiative, 290
Presenters: Mr Roland Stulz, Dr Andreas Luzzi, Ms Martina Blum
With a global agreement for the transition to a low carbon economy, how can we achieve our goals to increase energy efficiency, develop renewable energies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
Collaboration is critical to how the principles of the Paris agreement are turned into real action. Australia and Switzerland have much to share in their approaches to take decisive action to address climate change, from designing sustainable cities to increasing public awareness.
This forum with Swiss and Australian experts will look at an innovative energy policy model called the 2000-Watt Society. This concept of a society, which uses only 2000 watts per person per year, was developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and it serves as a model for energy policy that demonstrates how it is possible to consume only as much energy as is sustainable in terms of the impact on the environment and society.
Chaired by Prof. Chris Ryan of the Victorian Eco Innovation Lab, presenters include:
Roland Stulz, Co-founder and Ambassador of the 2000-Watt Society Martina Blum, Energy Advisor to the City of Zürich Dr. Andreas Luzzi, CEO of LAROS Technologies
The forum will also include a panel discussion with experts from the City of Melbourne and Sustainability Victoria.
An exhibition accompanies the forum showcasing the most innovative Swiss energy projects awarded the prestigious Watt D’Or Annual Prize by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.
