Featured keynote: planning infrastructure for the future
Lord John Browne
Former CEO, BP
Executive Chairman, L1 Energy
Lord Browne’s new book ‘Make, Think, Imagine’ has as its central idea that every society needs to think big and plan physical infrastructure for the future. But few governments and political leaders do this in practice. Browne calls for greater imagination in planning and design and explains how this can deliver infrastructure of greater boldness and better quality.
He will discuss the changing nature of global energy markets, including the effect of climate change on the business model of companies operating in extractive industries and the risks posed by investing in potentially stranded assets.
