Energy is the foundation of modern civilisation. It powers our homes, industries, transport systems, food production and economy, yet conversations about the future of energy often focus on only one part of the picture.
Join Tim Crownshaw and Larry Blair for a wide ranging discussion exploring New Zealand's energy future through a systems lens. Looking beyond electrification, this conversation will examine the opportunities and constraints facing Aotearoa as we navigate changing energy sources, growing demand, resource availability, infrastructure, resilience and long term prosperity.
Drawing on deep expertise in energy systems, policy and analysis, Tim and Larry will explore the realities of energy transition, the risks of simplifying complex challenges, and the choices that will shape New Zealand's future over the coming decades.
Whether you are interested in business, infrastructure, climate, economics or community resilience, this session offers a rare opportunity to step back from the headlines and develop a deeper understanding of one of the most important issues shaping our future.
