The global demand for energy: how can we satisfy the needs of 9 billion people by 2050?



Every company monitors on a daily basis those factors which influence their business prospects, in an attempt to predict future developments. Developing hypothetical scenarios regarding how the world will evolve over the next 3-4 decades helps top management and directors to make strategic choices.Today, what is certain is that the world will be facing tremendous challenges: a growing demand for energy with a simultaneous reduction in energy supplies; an increase in the impact of climate change; and increased economic volatility. What is not clear is how to take on these challenges.This webinar will analyze one of the main cruxes: how to satisfy the energy demands of a world population that is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, and how to do this while protecting the health of the planet. The answer will be provided from the viewpoint of one of the main groups operating in the energy sector—Royal Dutch Shell.
