2013 Pacific Energy Summit - All Media Coverage
On April 2–4, 2013, the Pacific Energy Summit convened key stakeholders from around in the world in Vancouver, Canada, to discuss market and policy solutions for “Forging Trans-Pacific Cooperation for a New Energy Era.”
This invitation-only event took place over two days in an interactive forum where delegates explored what is needed to realize the full potential for more integrated energy trade and investment between Asia and North America.
The 2013 Summit comes at a critical juncture. The Asia-Pacific is the most economically dynamic region in the world and sits at the forefront of global efforts to effectively and sustainably meet growing energy needs. Decisions made today will define how we will meet burgeoning energy demand to sustain economic growth and address the concurrent environmental impacts.
