Climate and Energy Perspectives: John Defterios

Climate and Energy Perspectives: John Defterios

What we read about climate and energy policy online and in newspapers is developed and discussed at large events like COP and ADIPEC. Those who attend such events have a sense of the most recent policy trends.


John Defterios, former Emerging Markets Editor/Anchor at CNN and currently Energy Fellow for the World Economic Forum, is a regular attendee of such events and we’re delighted to have him on this episode of the Siemens Energy Podcast. Before his time at the WEF, John worked for PBS and Reuters. He has spent a great deal of his career working in the capitals of the world, listening to leaders puzzle through and formulate climate and energy policy.


Host Amy Pempel begins the discussion by asking John why he thinks the Middle East is so bullish on renewables and what initiatives they are pursuing.


Amy and John also discuss:


  • Why humanity doesn’t seem to plan well for the medium and long term
  • The nexus of possibility, feasibility, and probability in public policy
  • Prospects from the most recent COP and ADIPEC meetings

John’s message is ultimately a hopeful one, which is meaningful considering how much change (and how many false starts) he has seen in this field since he started decades ago.
