ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The 9th Conference of the Future Energy Forum, devoted to the topic of "Renewable Energy and Quality of Life", was held on August 14-15. The event was held as part of the business program of the International Specialized Exhibition Astana EXPO 2017.  

The ninth of the twelve forums became an international venue for discussing the role of renewable and sustainable energy sources in the development of the energy field and in ensuring people's welfare.

Among the speakers of the conference were Andrew Reynolds, professor at the University of Virginia and former chairman of the United Nations Commission for Science and Technology; David Mozersky, founding director of the Program on Conflict, Climate Change and Green Development at the University of California; Erzhan Tutkushev, co-managing director for the development of new industries of the Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund; Ainur Aiypkhanova, director general of the Republican Center for Health Development, and others.

"Investment in Renewable Energy Sources (RES) creates long-term energy assets, unlike humanitarian missions based on fossil fuels," says David Mozersky, founding director of the Program on Conflict, Climate Change and Green Development at the University of California. "The financial mechanism will help to adapt the RES market and expand these markets in crisis and conflict areas," he added.

In his speech, Andrew Reynolds, professor at the University of Virginia, stressed the importance of universal access to energy in remote territories and the necessity of cooperation between business and state to create acceptable living conditions for these regions.

The Future Energy Forum is the central event of the business program of the International Specialized Exhibition Astana EXPO 2017. The results of all twelve conferences of the Forum will be included in the Astana EXPO 2017 Manifesto of Values and Principles.
