Mr. Kawamura will talk about the serious impact that will affect our socioeconomic activities, under the current status of energy and natural resources.  Why are gas prices so high? What can we all collectively do to make a difference in the world? What is the future outlook? What alternative energy resources are available? Mr. Kawamura’s findings are a result of historical trends on energy and natural resource development, through his vast experience at Mitsubishi International Corporation.
