A Reasoned Path: An Evening with Vaclav Smil

Join us for a special evening with world-renowned energy expert Vaclav Smil. Tickets for this September 25th event hosted by Resource Works are now available.

Secure your seat now to A Reasoned Path: An Evening with Vaclav Smil, hosted by Resource Works. The event will be held on September 25, 2023, at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and promises to be an extraordinary evening.

New York Times bestselling author and renowned energy expert Vaclav Smil will discuss the need for a clear-eyed, realistic approach to balancing the economy and the environment while meeting humanity’s material needs on a finite planet.

What will it take to reach net-zero emissions targets, and is it possible to reach net-zero goals by 2050 without phasing out oil and gas? These are among the most important questions facing Canadian businesses, regulators and public officials.

This is Professor Smil’s most high-profile talk ever in Western Canada, and we expect it to quickly sell out.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Many thanks to Shell Canada, Tourmaline and The Explorers and Producers Association of Canada for sponsoring this event.
