Objective
To engage students in our mission of
fighting energy poverty, protecting the environment, and mitigating the
effects of climate change, GEI annually organizes our Global Energy
Essay Contest. This contest is a valuable platform for students from all
backgrounds to share their ideas on energy issues and make their voices
heard throughout the world.
Global Energy Initiative is delighted to
announce the 2015 Global Energy Essay Contest. This year we are asking
students to present their thoughts on the topic “Road to Paris 2015:
Vision, Reality, and Solutions for a meaningful Climate Agreement”.
In 2013, GEI received an overwhelming
response to the competition, with over 400 quality entries from 67
countries. This year, we expect more than 1,000 interested students from
100 countries to get involved in this exciting contest. We hope
students will take this opportunity to contribute to the energy
discourse and help to ensure that the global agenda for sustainable
energy becomes a reality.
