Episode 8 of Energy Voices is out now. 🎧

“10 years since the Paris Agreement, who actually kept their promises?”

We’re wrapping up the Energy Voices series with a critical look at the promises that shaped the last decade of climate action. Ten years after the Paris Agreement, our guests examine what progress has actually been made, where governments and industries have fallen short, and why global emissions continue to rise despite major climate commitments and clean energy growth. The conversation also explores what accountability looks like moving forward, whose voices have been sidelined in climate negotiations, and what young people want to see happen next.

Featuring:
⚡ Harjeet Singh - Strategic Advisor and Asia Lead, Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative
⚡ Andy Deacon - Co-Managing Director, Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy
⚡ Brook M. Thompson - Water Resource Engineer & Indigenous Water Rights Activist

As we close this series, we thank you for joining us across eight episodes exploring the challenges, tradeoffs, and possibilities shaping the energy transition.

Brought to you by Student Energy, in partnership with the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.

Led by Student Energy on behalf of the Empowering People Initiative (EPI), the report examines 14 programs across 10 countries to identify what’s working in attracting and supporting youth in the clean energy workforce.

The webinar will highlight key findings from the report and feature discussion on improving and scaling workforce development programs.

Episode 7 of Energy Voices is out now. 🎧

“What does a locally led energy system look like?”

This episode explores how communities are taking control of their energy systems, from a solar-powered cooperative farm in Canada, a student initiative in northern Uganda turning agricultural waste into cooking fuel after a charcoal ban, and Indigenous-led dam removal and river restoration in the Klamath River region. Our guests unpack how locally led energy solutions can create jobs, build resilience, and keep decision-making power within communities, while also navigating the real-world challenges of access, infrastructure, and implementation.

Featuring:
⚡ Enock Namunane - Founding President, Student Energy Chapter at Gulu University in Uganda
⚡ Brook M. Thompson - Water Resource Engineer & Indigenous Water Rights Activist

Episode 6 of Energy Voices is out now. 🎧

This episode focuses on:
“The demand side: How can we use less energy while living better?”

Our guests explore the overlooked side of the energy transition. While most conversations focus on building more clean energy, they unpack how efficiency, conservation, and flexibility can reduce demand, cut emissions, and ease pressure on energy systems. They also examine why energy use continues to rise, what that means for resources and infrastructure, and how rethinking how we live, move, and design our systems can unlock a more sustainable path forward.

Featuring:
⚡ Stéphanie Bouckaert - Head of Demand Sectors Unit, International Energy Agency (IEA)
⚡ Brendan Haley - Senior Director of Policy Strategy, Efficiency Canada

Brought to you by Student Energy, in partnership with the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.
