Energy is an issue that touches every person on the planet. That's why National Geographic, in partnership with Shell, has launched  the Great Energy Challenge.

The Great Energy Challenge convenes and engages influential citizens and key energy stakeholders in solutions-based thinking and dialogue about our shared energy future.

It's a call to action to become actively involved, to learn more and do more—to change how we think about and consume energy so that we can all help tackle the big energy questions.

National Geographic has assembled some of the world's foremost researchers and scientists to help address the challenge. Led by Thomas Love joy, 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. Move the conversation forward with The Big Energy Question, where key subjects such as advanced biofuels, natural gas, and supplying energy to world's cities are debated by prominent experts who have the power to effect change.

Uncover Great Energy Challenge-funded energy initiatives from around the world selected by our esteemed group of energy advisors, and become an advocate by spreading the word.

Test your energy IQ with Energy Quizzes that cover subjects that affect us all, such as food, transportation, biofuels, and cities.

Use the cutting-edge online tools such as the Personal Energy Meter to measure your energy consumption and share your score with your friends, and the World Electricity Mix Interactive, which shows you where the world gets its power. Since the launch of the Solar Ready Vets program this past Spring, Solar Energy International (SEI) has led the technical trainings across the country at multiple military bases as part of a pilot solar installer training program for transitioning military personnel. The Energy Department’s SunShot Initiative launched the Solar Ready Vets program to connect our nation’s skilled veterans to the solar energy industry, preparing them for careers as solar photovoltaic (PV) system installers, sales representatives, system inspectors, and other solar-related occupations.
