Balancing Economic Growth, Energy Security, and Decarbonization | 2024 GDF

The CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development is hosting the eighth Global Development Forum in Washington D.C. on April 18, 2024. This forum will focus broadly on economic growth, decarbonization, and pressing challenges and opportunities for development.
Access to reliable and affordable energy is essential for powering industries, healthcare, transportation, education, and communications systems. Energy serves as the backbone of economic growth and human development, driving productivity, innovation, and improving living standards. At the same time, to address climate change, developing countries are being asked to diversify and transition their energy mix to clean and renewable energy. As nations grapple with the dual challenges of fostering economic prosperity and reducing carbon emissions, we need to have a conversation about how to strike a realistic balance between economic growth and decarbonization. This panel will discuss viable and realistic strategies to answer the question “How do we ensure continued economic development as we pursue decarbonization efforts?”
Additional details will be announced shortly. To register to attend the 2024 CSIS Global Development Forum, please visit: 2024 Global Development Forum | CSIS Events.
