The Great Energy Challenge

The Great Energy Challenge is an important National Geographic initiative designed to help all of us better understand the breadth and depth of our current energy situation. Energy, just like food, air, and water, is essential to human existence. With the world’s population growing at exponential rates, we are faced with meeting an increasing demand for energy.

National Geographic has assembled some of the world’s best researchers and scientists to help tackle the challenge in a responsible, equitable, and sustainable way.

Led by Thomas Lovejoy, a National Geographic conservation fellow and renowned biologist, the team of advisors will work together to identify and provide support for projects focused on innovative energy solutions.

The Great Energy Challenge website is a one-stop resource where you can participate actively. The project will continue to evolve, so be sure to check back often – you’ll find more interactive features, more partners, and many more ways to get involved.

Decisions we make now will profoundly affect the natural world and the quality and sustainability of our lives. Be a part of the solution. Take part in the Challenge.
