Energy Journey
The energy journey unveils how and why IUCN is addressing energy as a major theme at the Congress. Seminars and events will revolve around three themes: managing impacts of energy options; the risks and opportunities of biofuels; and low-emission energy solutions. Sessions will explore issues such as sustainable energy in small island ecosystems; introduce scenario building to analyze the effects of infrastructure and global warming in South America; and how to balance food, fuel and biodiversity within productive agriculture.
Participants will discover why addressing energy sector concerns is pivotal to conservation success; what role biofuels really play as a future energy option; and how all energy options impact on ecosystems and livelihoods. The journey's starting point is at the Futures Pavilion.
