December 15th 2009.

The Institute’s international event ENERGY SECURITY MEETS CLIMATE CHANGE, in partnership with the British Venture Capital Association (BVCA), was a great success @ NZ House in London, immediately pre COP15, on Nov 30th. Celebrating 2009 Hillary Laureate Jeremy Leggett, the debate was enjoined by Shadow Energy Minister Charles Hendry, Tom Murley of HG Capital and Michael Lewis of Eon, and an invited audience of 100 business leaders, central govt. and NGO participants.

The evening was begun with a warm welcome and reflections on Sir Edmund Hillary and the Institute’s Leadership mission by NZ High Commissioner Derek Leask, chaired by Simon Walker (BVCA CEO and Hillary governor), with closing reflections after a vigorous debate by Institute ED Mark Prain.
