Marco Visscher is the author of books about the energy transition and eco modernism.His presentation was about that ony well developed, rich countries can help tackle environmental issues. Only thanks to economic growth and progress can we live longer, is there less chance on war and is there less poverty.
Only thanks to economic growth do we live in a cleaner world than ever before, whereas poorer countries do not have the means to care about the envirnoment as much as we do.
Economic growth leads to a better environment. We should support poor countries to grow so that they can help creating a better envirnoment in the future. Energy is the solution, not the problem.
