Arctic Ambitions: Pioneering the Green Transition Amid Geopolitical Tensions

Open to the Public
Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant in Þingvellir, Iceland

Halla Hrund Logadóttir, Director-General of Iceland's National Energy Authority, and Professor Henry Lee delved into the green transition through an Arctic lens. The Arctic, rich in both fossil fuels and rare earth minerals, will play a pivotal role in shaping the world's sustainable future through technology transfer and innovation traveling from Iceland to China. Logadottir and Lee shared insights on how some Arctic nations are pioneering the green movement even as geopolitical tensions mount globally, and the implications for COP28 in the United Arab Emirates.
