"I am optimistic because all around the world we are pushing the technology curve, with batteries, wind, geothermal, and the marketplace has made its decision; it is moving in the direction of electricity.”
Few figures have spent more time at the intersection of diplomacy, energy and global affairs than John Kerry, former U.S. Secretary of State and the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, from 2021 until 2024. In this wide-ranging ADSW Talks interview, Kerry considers how electrification, AI and accelerating technological progress are changing the way economies grow and energy systems operate.
These shifts, he argues, can help build the resilience needed to withstand disruption, provided they are matched by coalition-building and decisions grounded in science, innovation and shared purpose.
