Climate change, shifting markets and technological innovation are reshaping the global energy landscape. Organisations across all sectors now face strategic choices that require informed, future focused thinking. This five day program provides a comprehensive overview of the trends, challenges and opportunities driving the energy transition and equips you with practical insight into how organisations can position themselves for a low carbon future.

You will explore global and domestic developments in renewable energy, emerging technologies and decarbonisation.
