Just transition in times of energy crisis: how to guarantee energy security for all
Information
Throughout 2022 Member States’ commitments regarding decarbonisation and coal phase out have been challenged as the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine has drastically reduced flows of natural gas to Europe, thus endangering continued security of energy supply. The resulting energy crisis requires decision-makers to rethink energy security, while continuing to pursue fossil fuel phase out plans.
In this session, stakeholders will discuss the energy crisis and the ‘dilemma’ of energy transition vs energy security, and whether this ‘dilemma can be seen as an opportunity. Regions will present their short-term solutions to overcome dependencies on Russian oil and gas, outline their REPowerEU plans, and explain how the EU can stay on track with its climate objectives.
