The Conference will bring together high-level government representatives, politicians, EU officials, private sector leaders and senior representatives from think tanks and the non-governmental sector to examine possible synergy between the energy security and care for the environment.
The Conference will cover the following topics: Strategic Challenges of Climate Change and Energy Security, Towards New Post-Kyoto Deal: From Bali to Copenhagen, Hydro-carbon Energy Resources Dependency in Geo-strategic Perspective, Alternative and Renewable Resources - Sustainable Power for the Future, and Climate Change: Threat to International Peace and Security.
