Decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels is the defining challenge of our nation, our world, and our generation. Shifting geopolitical and environmental realities are creating a unique opportunity for a revolution in the way we produce, consume, and think about energy resources. The complementary strategies of diversifying our mix of low-emitting energy sources and improving our energy efficiency are critical economic, environmental, and geopolitical goals—in many ways they are lynchpins upon which our common dreams depend.
Energy Crossroads is a student-initiated, global movement for a clean, prosperous, and secure energy future. As the inheriting generation, we are mobilizing a coalition that includes stakeholders from across many sectors and disciplines. The coalition includes policymakers, non-governmental organizations, technologists, entrepreneurs, academics, and activists. Driven by their particular concerns for the environment, economic growth, and international security, these groups often work in isolation of each other. Energy Crossroads facilitates collaboration between these groups—guided by the belief that our interactions will accelerate progress toward innovative solutions to the world's energy challenges.
Energy Crossroads promotes this coalition by convening conferences, workshops, and other community building events where all relevant stakeholders can meet and collaborate.
