A SECURE FUTURE FOR ALL: THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION OF OUR ENERGY SYSTEMS 

[3]

The transformation of our energy systems is one of the greatest challenges
of the 21st century. Central to all efforts of preventing the climate
crisis must be the expansion of renewable energies and the termination of
the modern dependence on fossil fuels. This relates not only to ways of
generating power, but also to current systems of heating homes. 

 

In this panel, we aim to discuss Green visions for the future of energy and
their regional, national, and international significance.

LEONORE GEWESSLER, Federal Minister for Climate Action, Environment,

JUST TRANSITION: TOWARDS A GREEN ECONOMY AND A SOCIAL UNION 

[3]

A climate-neutral economy in the EU is inevitable to address the climate
crisis. This transition must be fair and inclusive for everyone. A just
transition is the solution to potential conflicts between delivering
policies for the people OR for the climate.

 

In this panel, we will discuss what a just transition means for European
businesses, the future of work, social welfare systems in the EU, and the
trust between citizens and governments.

 

With:

 

JOHANNES RAUCH, Minister for Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer
Protection, Austria 

 

MÉLANIE VOGEL, Co-Chair of the European Green Party

 

ERNEST URTASUN, MEP responsible for the Just Transition paper [5]

 

KADI KENK, Board member at Ecopreneur, and Head of Circularity at
Responsible Business Forum Estonia

 

Hosted by: JUDITH PÜHRINGER, Co-chair of the Viennese Greens
