<p>Webinar Context: The global energy crisis that the planet is currently facing has shown how dependent the world is on fossil fuels. Oil and natural gas prices recently soared to the highest levels in years, pushing up electricity bills as widespread energy shortages hit Asia and Europe. The crisis raises questions about whether the world is ready for the green energy revolution when it is currently struggling to power itself. On the other hand, the crisis shows the need to move further away from coal, gas, and oil as prices for those commodities spike. That said, renewables are not expanding quickly enough to satisfy the rebound in global electricity demand, which is set to grow by 4% in 2022, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Renewables are expected to cover only half the projected increase in global electricity demand. The rest of the demand will be covered mostly by fossil fuel-based generation. As we approach the end of the year, this webinar brought together international sustainability and energy experts to discuss the possible pathways for 2022 and how the world can accelerate the shift to a sustainable trajectory in light of IEA&rsquo;s alarming predictions.</p>
