 Description

On 24–25 March 2020, the German Government invites the world to its annual inspiring dialogue on the Global Energiewende, the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (#betd2020), which has become the leading international forum on the green energy transformation. Every year, high-level participants from politics, industry, science and civil society gather in Berlin for two days to discuss the shift to a sustainable energy system. In this diverse international conference, scientific expertise meets with practical know-how, policymakers encounter civil society organisations, and young and experienced generations enrich each other by working hand in hand to accelerate the energy transition.

The Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue 2020 will focus on a Global Green Deal including:

  • Geopolitics
  • Green Finance
  • Market Designs for Renewables
  • Carbon Pricing
  • Multilateral Cooperation and Action

During the conference, the BETD Media Fellows will report on the conference sessions through

  • social media channels, especially Twitter
  • video clips, interviews and reports
  • and the official website

The fellowship is meant for young journalists from around the world.
