Energy—whether drawn from the ground and transported by sea (as is predominantly the case today) or derived from wind, water, sunlight or similarly renewable sources—powers the wheels of commerce, shapes the relations between nations and influences the environment and climate in which we live. At a time of tremendously rapid global economic development, the production, transportation and consumption of energy arguably represent the most important issues impacting policy decisions. CEMTPP—the Center for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public Policy—is dedicated to helping policymakers, business leaders and the general public manage energy in optimal ways. The mission of CEMTPP is to provide an unparalleled and comprehensive education in International Energy Management and Policy (IEMP) and to contribute to informed policy discussion and decision making through original, insightful research. |
