Abstract
Can we all envisage a world with a decent quality of life for everyone and net-zero emissions? The big challenge for society, simply put, is how to provide much more energy with much less carbon dioxide. The goal of a better life with a healthier planet is an inspiring ambition. But navigating the necessary transitions will require extraordinary and unprecedented coordination, collaboration, and leadership across all sectors of society. Jeremy Bentham, Head of Shell Scenarios will speak on how society can enable development and whilst safeguarding the environment.
Jeremy Bentham leads Shell’s Global Business Environment team, a core corporate strategy activity best known outside the company for developing the Shell Scenarios. He graduated from Oxford University, and joined Shell in 1980 following post-graduate experience at the California Institute of Technology. He also holds a masters degree in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a Sloan Fellow. Following experience in research, technology, and industry analysis, he held management positions at several refineries. After managing corporate strategy analysis for Shell, Jeremy joined the leadership of Shell’s global technology company, and subsequently served as chief executive of Shell Hydrogen before becoming head of Shell Scenarios. |
