Economic upheaval. Political tensions. Currency crises. 2012 could be a significant year – for all sorts of reasons we don’t yet know. So what are the strategic, political and technological opportunities and challenges for future energy in the 12 months ahead? What sorts of partnerships will we need to achieve sustainable energy for all? And how can we leverage policy initiatives to encourage increased use of renewables in the energy mix? Our panel of the world’s leading renewable energy executives examines the year ahead – from growth prospects to likely headaches – in the context of European financial turmoil, restricted access to capital, availability of talent, legislative restrictions, the backlash against nuclear... and much much more.

International agencies have a critical role to play in helping shape the transition to sustainable energy on a global level – establishing the policy agenda, fostering cooperation and building relationships to get results. But questions abound. What sorts of global partnerships work well now – and how will they evolve? And what’s missing to enable us to improve collaboration between agencies, government and industry? Assembling a leading group of global NGOs, we assess the current and future role of transnational agencies – crossing borders, opening minds and clearing the path to a more sustainable future for all.
