Building the Solar Revolution in Frontier Economies: Supporting Sustainable Development in Israel and Africa

The clash at the Paris Climate Conference between developed and developing nations, which sunk the Copenhagen Climate Conference, was navigated deftly and miraculously, with the possibility that billions of people can soon benefit from green power. Yosef Abramowitz, a pioneer of Israel's and Africa's solar industries, and a member of Israel's negotiating team at Paris, will discuss a break-thru model of decoupling GDP growth from emissions growth, using the case studies of solar power in the Arava region in Rwanda as windows into the future of green energy and development. Join Mr. Abramowitz, a.k.a. "Captain Sunshine," as he unfolds a plan of how to successfully beat back climate change while fighting poverty.

Speaker: Yosef Abramowitz, Energiya Global Capiral, Arava Power Company
