"Reducing global emissions in a way that preserves economic well-being and achieves environmental integrity will require an approach that is comprehensive, fair and ultimately must be incorporated into all aspects of our lives. Integrated energy systems will contribute significantly to our efforts as we work to meet this challenge."
Eileen Claussen President Pew Center on Global Climate Change, GEB Advisory Board
"We are facing extraordinary challenges with regard to a secure and sustainable energy future. Partnerships with new players and innovative collaboration models are crucial to tackle those challenges. GEB is about the creation of such partnerships."
Christoph Frei Senior Director World Economic Forum, GEB Advisory Board
"The world is a village. Negotiations on the global stage feature the same mechanisms as in municipal assemblies: group dynamics emerge and therefore also mutual influence through sentiment and emotion. I support Global Energy Basel as an event which unites countries, cities, companies and NGO’s to find practical, integrated solutions – as on a village square."
"A sustainable energy policy can be put into practice only through close collaboration of governments, regions, cities and their partners in economy and environmental and consumer organizations."
Claude Martin Former Director General WWF, GEB Advisory Board
"Fostering the implementation of secure, efficient and environmentally friendly energy supply in developing countries is absolutely crucial – for the global environment as well as the global economy."
Walter Fust Former General Director, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, GEB Advisory Board
"Integrated energy solutions grant a secure, carbon-free and affordable energy supply. They help to fight energy shortage, price explosion and climate change."
Claudia Kemfert Head Energy Department German Institute for Economic Research, GEB Moderator
"Global Energy Basel has emerged as a leading forum for the energy community to showcase good practice and new solutions. It is my hope that this unique platform will guide us towards making the policy decisions we need to stimulate innovation, promote efficiency, tackle climate change and secure a sustainable energy future for all."
"The need for integrated energy solutions based on decentralized and renewable sources is obvious and urgent. Promising technical solutions are available and improved daily. Considerable amounts of capital are looking for investment opportunities in this attractive area. The challenge is yet to build up new and support established industry players to match them and their products with the financing criteria of debt- and equity investors at all levels."
"In earlier decades it was easy to believe that technology would solve it all. Today we have to prove that technology can indeed play an important role in confronting the challenges facing our planet's future."
Oliver Denzler CEO Neoperl Holding, Member GEB Business Board
