Energy Pathways for Sustainable Development:  Insights from the Global Energy 
Assessment. 

On Wednesday, July 17 at 5 pm, Dr. David McCollum will present this talk in the 
Toyota Auditorium.  It is free and open to the public.  He will highlight findings 
from the Global Energy Assessment (GEA) project, launched in 2012. It defines 
a new global energy policy agenda –  one that transforms the way society 
thinks about, uses, and delivers energy.  Involving specialists from a range of 
disciplines, industry groups, and policy areas, this GEA research aims to 
facilitate equitable and sustainable energy services for all, in particular the two 
billion people who currently lack access to clean, modern energy.

David McCollum is a research scholar with the Energy Program of the 
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, 
Austria. He received his doctorate in Transportation Technology & Policy from 
the University of California, Davis, Institute of Transportation Studies in 2011, 
following the completion of an MS in Agricultural & Resource Economics from 
the same institution, and a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of 
Tennessee (2004). Dr. McCollum's main fields of scientific interest include 
techno-economic analysis of advanced energy and transport technologies and 
the development and application of energy-economic and integrated 
assessment models.
