"Improvements made possible by energy technologies may transform the energy industry from being the cause of climate change to its solution."

The "World Energy and Climate Outlook after the Paris Climate Conference" meeting was held. International Energy Agency Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol presented the World Energy Outlook 2015 report

TÜSİAD and Sabancı University Istanbul International Center for Energy and Climate (IICEC) held a meeting titled "World Energy and Climate Outlook after the Paris Climate Conference." 

Introductory remarks of the meeting were delivered by Sabancı University Founding Board of Trustees Chair Güler Sabancı and TÜSİAD Board of Directors Chair Cansen Başaran-Symes. 

Güler Sabancı said, "In addition to the breakthrough needed in energy efficiency and renewable energies, improvements made possible by energy technologies may transform the energy industry from being the cause of climate change to its solution. All the countries in the world must work together on the transformation that will ensure sustainability in the energy sector. This is the only way we can leave a sustainable world to future generations. 

In distribution, the guidelines for the new tariff for the 2016-2020 were established. Liberalization and free market are indispensable to us. We have had some headway in retail liberalization, albeit not at the desired level. Looking forward, we must quickly take further steps in liberalization and have a fully-functional market that favors the consumer. To do so, we must strengthen our energy markets with better regulatory framework, more competitiveness, transparency and predictability. We must seize the opportunity yielded by excess supply and low energy prices to take bold steps in this direction." 

Cansen Başaran-Symes spoke: “Last year, in the launch event for the 'World Energy Outlook 2014' Report, we as TÜSİAD had said that 'we cannot be fooled into indifference by low energy prices; we need to implement regulations to liberalize the energy market and expedite the shift to low-carbon technologies as well as investments in energy efficiency.' Renewable energy sources play a large part in the shift to a low-carbon economy while also providing better security of supply. We have had considerable momentum in utilizing our renewable energy sources recently. If we persist in this direction, I believe there will come a time when all the equipment used can be manufactured in Turkey. The production, employment and export opportunities that equipment manufacturing brings will be a great boost to our economy. Maintainining investment incentives and implementing measures to improve the investment environment will be crucial in accelerating the push towards maximum utilization of Turkey's renewable energy potential. 

We are confident that liberal and transparent energy markets will encourage efficient investments and energy efficiency, and we know that such investments will empower our shift to a low-carbon economy. We take every opportunity to advocate coordination between this transformation in the energy sector and a change in our manufacturing industry. This is the only way we can harmonize our growth requirements with our environmental responsibilities."

Following introductory remarks, International Energy Agency Executive Director Dr. Fatih Birol presented the World Energy Outlook 2015 report

Birol said that predictability in the energy sector had never been worse. Fatih Birol explained the four causes of low predictability: "First is the geopolitical situation. There are severe issues in the Middle East, where the world's leading oil producers are located. There are no signs of improvement in the short term. Other producers like Russia have their own problems. The second factor is growth. BRICS nations, which have been the driving force of global growth in the past, are not doing so well. The third cause is the Paris Convention; for the first time in history, all the nations of the world have agreed on a text but one thing remains unknown: will the Convention make meaningful change? Finally, predictability is further crippled by uncertainties regarding low energy prices." Fatih Birol continued, “Uncertainty in energy prices is a huge question. Energy prices dropped for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016, and this trend will continue.  If sanctions against Iran are lifted in 2016, this may drive energy prices further down. Low prices are good for countries that are import-dependent in energy, such as Turkey, but we must not let this go to our head." 

Birol explained the two diverging views in petroleum markets: "The first view argues that 30 to 40 dollars is the new norm, while the second view believes that prices will rise again in the near future and bring balance to the market. Personally, I don't think prices will stay in the 30-40 dollar range or lower for long." 

Fatih Birol said that the Paris Climate Conference was a good first step that sent important messages to the energy sector.

Renewable energy is not a romantic tale anymore

Arguing that the Paris Conference would increase investments in innovation across the world, Birol said, “In Paris, 20 countries pledged to double their energy research and development investments in the next five years. Investments will reduce the costs of clean energy technologies." Birol continued:  "As costs drop, renewable energy investments will increase around the world and two-thirds of this investment will be by developing countries. In the next five years, 6.5 out of every 10 dollars invested in the electricity sector will go to renewable energies. Paris sends an important message to the energy sector; their steps will be carefully monitored. Fifty percent of the plants commissioned worldwide last year were renewable. The other 50% included coal, gas, nuclear and oil power plants. This is statistical proof that renewable energy is no longer a romantic tale but serious business."

"We believe India will take over from China"

Explaining that India would soon replace China as having the largest energy demand, Birol said, "We are at the end of the phase where China dictates the growth in global energy demand. Its growth in energy demand is slowing down. Meanwhile, India took great steps in economy and energy. We see it take center stage in global energy. The greatest demand for coal will originate from India and more ground will be covered in solar energy. They will soon become second only to China in solar energy."

Demand for coal in China is at its peak. Demand is faltering in the EU and United States. Demand is on the rise in India and East Asia. There is significant decline in demands worldwide.  Developed nations consume less energy. The economy reached a saturation point. Energy is being used more efficiently. We are at the end of a long energy story with China. 

The economy and energy demand in China are almost parallel. Energy demand is slowing down. The Chinese government resolved to balance the economy. Much is being done for changing into a liberal economy.  Demand is declining in China. There are great efforts for energy efficiency.  The investment in renewable energies in China is equal to the investments of all the other nations of the world combined. The motive behind this is climate change and severe air pollution in the cities.

India took great steps in economy and energy as well. They also assisted in reaching a fairer agreement in Paris. 240 million people still live with no access to power. India's population will exceed that of China in 10 years. India has the largest share of the demand in coal. The largest share of petroleum demand is theirs as well. The country is taking great steps in solar energy.

Established by the Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Gender and Women’s Studies Forum, the Dicle Koğacıoğlu Article Awards were presented on Saturday, December 26, 2015 at a ceremony following a student conference at the Minerva Palas in Karaköy.

This year's first prize went to Nisa Göksel from Northwestern University with her paper "Motherhood in an Alternative Political Sphere: Understanding the Political and Ethical Struggle of Mothers for Peace"; second prize to Caner Hazar from the University of Connecticut with his paper "Gender Performance as an Everyday Strategy in Turkey" and third prize to Çağlar Çetin with the paper "The Collective Failure of Men to Cope with Failure: Possible Strategies for Addressing the Issues and Shortcomings of Men's Organizations in Turkey That Oppose Gender Regimes."

In addition to the award winners, Arzu Maltaş Erol and Ferda Aşık from Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University presented their paper "Women's Quest for a City: Experiences of Place in Anatolian Universities" and Hilal Kara from Middle East Technical University presented her paper "A Home Worker on the Road: Understanding the City from the Perspective of 'Housekeeping' Women."

Introductory remarks to the student conference and awards ceremony, held to encourage the work of young researchers on the society and culture of Turkey from a perspective of gender, were delivered by Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Emeritus Professor Ayşe Öncü. Ayşe Öncü said that Dicle Koğacıoğlu was a student who left her mark. Öncü explained that the way Dicle Koğacıoğlu pushed the boundaries of academic work with activism was a precious endeavor. Öncü added that Koğacıoğlu was the first person to compile an ethnography of law. She said that it was thanks to Dicle Koğacıoğlu that she learned how law could become an area where gender equality is produced. Ayşe Öncü also remembered Ferhunde Özbay, who passed away in 2015. Öncü said that they would publish a collection of Dicle Koğacıoğlu Award winners in their memories.

Introductory remarks were followed by the first panel discussion moderated by Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences member Ayşe Öncü. Hilal Kara from Middle East Technical University presented her paper "A Home Worker on the Road: Understanding the City from the Perspective of 'Housekeeping' Women." Hilal Kara explained that, based on interviews with 32 housekeepers, there was coincidence between two important transitions of migrating from rural areas to the city, and entering the workforce. Kara said that more than half of the 32 women had begun working after 2000, and that the predominant motive for the women to work was sending their children to school. Hilal Kara mentioned that none of the interviewees expressed a wish to live anywhere other than their current neighborhood and that they continued their rural practices in the same manner.

The second panelist of the first session was Arzu Maltaş Erol from Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University. Arzu Maltaş Erol spoke on the paper titled "Women's Quest for a City: Experiences of Place in Anatolian Universities" coauthored with Ferda Aşık. Arzu Maltaş Erol said that their paper was based on the expansion of universities across Anatolian provinces. She explained that the concept of space, treated from geographical and mathematical standpoints, changed in the 19th century. Discussing the urban space as the foundation of their paper, Erol said that the urban space was important as an environment for gender role production. Arzu Maltaş Erol argued that urban spaces were masculine and that women were condemned to the private sphere. Arzu Maltaş Erol said that they interviewed 15 women attending university, whose main concerns were attire and getting around in the city. 

The moderator of the second panel discussion was Sabancı University Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Professor Ayşe Betül Çelik.  Caner Hazar from the University of Connecticut spoke on his paper "Gender Performance as an Everyday Strategy in Turkey." Caner Hazar said that his article discussed perceptions of male homosexuality in Turkey. He argued that the nation-state portrayed women as the "better half" of men, and discussed the indifference of the state to honor killings and the refusal to view the active partner in a couple as homosexual. Explaining the invisibility of male homosexuality in Turkey, Caner Hazar said that homosexual men used the rigid notion of manhood in the society to their own advantage, benefiting from the historical opposition of men and women. 

The second panelist was Nisa Göksel from Northwestern University. Göksel presented her paper "Motherhood in an Alternative Political Sphere: Understanding the Political and Ethical Struggle of Mothers for Peace." Nisa Göksel discussed the effect of street demonstrations that transformed motherhood into the role of a local peace ambassador. Göksel explained the contradiction that arises from being both ethical and political, and said that mothers were also embroiled in a struggle against the political government and their own ethnic groups. Göksel emphasized that women developed a discourse as an alternative to the moralist discourse of the state, and rejected the responsibility imposed on them by the state to stand up to be ambassadors of peace that was inclusive of the others Göksel said that motherhood extended beyond family ties to assume a role for the rebuilding of peace.

Management 2010 graduate Hande Timor and Industrial Engineering 2009 graduate Tamay Kiper turned their travels into a social responsibility project under the theme "Love in the Luggage" and seek support for their creative and valuable initiative. 

Here is what Hande had to say about the project:

We are two friends that shared a room at Sabancı University for three years. When school was over, personal and career expectations took Tamay to California while I stayed in Istanbul, continents apart. We then realized that we didn't need a dorm room or be in the same city to be close. We started to meet all over the world. Our route this time is Buenos Aires, the Iguassu Falls and Rio de Janeiro.

As our departure date loomed closer, we kept asking the same question: We had been eager volunteers in social responsibility projects all the time, so why not turn this trip into our very own project? This is what led to the "Love in the Luggage" initiative.

In summary, we have a Facebook page that generates awareness and support for the Youth Re-autonomy Foundation of Turkey. People can click on the link to view the Foundation's donation page and specify how much they would like to donate to the "Love in the Luggage" initiative. Using these donations, children from disadvantaged regions who receive social support from the Foundation produce handmade bracelets and posters. I pack these in my luggage, meet Tamay in Buenos Aires, and we take them to the patients of the Pedro de Elizalde Children's Hospital in Buenos Aires as Christmas gifts. We have made arrangements with the hospital.

Our only gain from this project is to see children from two ends of the world connect and be happy. We hope our project inspires other travelers.  Remember, there are a lot of things you are not allowed to carry in your checked luggage.  But there is always room for love.

Make sure you pack lots of it for your next trip. :)

An unusual "Leadership Workshop" by Sabancı University Executive Development Unit

Sabancı University Executive Development Unit – EDU hosted a "Leadership Workshop" on Friday, December 11, 2015 at the Avantgarde Hotel. The keynote speaker of the event was “Lewis Method" founder and Deep Democracy LTD CEO Myrna Lewis, who has spoken in nine countries across five continents under the theme of "Leadership Dialogues." Myrna Lewis won the Ashoka Fellowship in 2001. In 2006, the United Nations recognized the "Lewis Method" as one of eighty leading African innovations. In 2012 Myrna became involved with the government of Sweden to implement the Lewis Method in innovation and changes in Swedish political practices. Large scale community dialogues were initiated to involve Swedish citizens in major decisions.  In 2014 commenced teaching the Lewis Method to The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Turin, Italy.

Myrna Lewis deals with "Democratic Leadership" not like a conventional conference lecture, but elicits the involvement of all participants to reveal all the different opinions among the audience. Bringing together executives and leadership development directors from the largest Turkish companies, the workshop aimed to help participants study the notion of democratic leadership from all angles to boost their own leadership development and come up with new and groundbreaking ideas. In addition to Democratic Leadership discussions, a large group facilitation enabled everyone to experience how participatory democratic leadership works, and understand the groundbreaking and innovative approach to dialog, discussion and achieving group wisdom considering the size of the group and the way different opinions are handled.

About Myrna Lewis and the Lewis Method:
Co-founder of the Lewis Method of Deep Democracy and CEO of Deep democracy LTD, Myrna Lewis is a clinical psychologist from South Africa who completed further training in Process Orientated Psychology and Psycho Synthesis. Her clinical practice led her to the corporate world in 1984 when she joined a multinational company as HR director. In 1986 she became a consultant and has since been involved with facilitating large- scale transformation processes within corporate, NGO, NPO and social activist organisations in South Africa, and internationally.

Deep Democracy emerged when Myrna and her late husband Greg Lewis, were contracted by Eskom (SA utility company) to assist in the cultural transformation of the organization. It is a conflict management approach that was developed during the transition from apartheid to democracy in South Africa. It is an unusual and innovative method that enables even difficult and guarded opinions to be spoken, thus helping to solve problems that seemed insurmountable in the beginning.

The method was designed to help employees resolve racial tensions among themselves. The emphasis of the Lewis Method has been on practical and pragmatic applications for people in the general population who have not been trained in the human sciences. The Lewis Method quickly spread and was used successfully in numerous countries. It involves the values, beliefs and attitudes of participants in the process, enriching the experience and knowledge of the group to reach the "deep."  

It aims to make full use of group dynamics to facilitate dialog about difficult, challenging or unconventional sentiments and opinions to add the voice of the minority to majority decisions, providing for a more democratic process.

Myrna is recipient of a 2001 Ashoka Fellowship award, which supported her empowerment world with South African teachers and HIV/Aids counsellors. Myrna is mother of two and grandmother of four. She continues to travel the world to facilitate Deep Democracy training and processes internationally. Myrna is also the author of the book Inside the No where she explains this approach.
