What would you do if you invented a time machine? Would you travel back to the past, to alter history or fix mistakes? Or would you rather jump forward, to collect future knowledge and bring back advanced technologies?
Led by the audience, we will be asking these and other challenging questions to two of Europe’s top experts on climate change and energy: Professor Nebojsa Nakicenovic, Chief Scientific Advisor to the European Commission, and Professor Peter Lund, chair of the SAPEA working group on Europe’s energy transition.

Description
How did we get ourselves into such a mess with climate change? When and how did it all go wrong — and could we have done otherwise? What information about the future do we need to help guide our energy choices now? And how do today’s scientists model tomorrow’s world without the aid of a time machine?
The event will be hosted by AC Coppens, an experienced moderator who will make sure that the full audience — including those in the room and those joining via YouTube livestream — can actively engage with the experts and take part in lively conversation.
