Description

Before the world came to a standstill due to a health-related crisis, the hot topic was how to transition to a greener Europe, and simultaneously ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, as laid down in the Sustainable Development Goals. The EYP network has shown before that the COVID-19 crisis does not stop them from gathering. Now is the time to show that it does not stop them from taking care of our environment and sustainability and brainstorming on ways how to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2050, as called for by the European Green Deal. If you are interested in the Energy Transition and the impact of energy policy on climate change, this event is for you! The Digital Energy Forum will be a unique platform for young people to come together and share their ideas, ignite debate, and put their heads together to make our energy future sustainable.
