Energy transition – currently one of the most important challenges for Europe
17:19
Energy transition and the challenges associated with it will be one of the main topics of the 32nd Economic Forum, which will take place from September 5-7 in Karpacz.
"Alongside the war that is taking place beyond our eastern border, this is the biggest challenge we face today, and that will affect every European," Zygmunt Berdychowski, chairman of the program board of the event, emphasized.
He assessed that the implementation of the assumptions of the energy and climate transition in the first period will weaken the competitiveness of the European and Polish economies.
Taking into account the number of challenges that the EU will have to overcome on the road to neutrality, the adopted schedule may prove to be too ambitious.
At the end of 2019, the EU adopted the political goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The path to achieving this goal is set by the Fit for 55 package of regulations, the main assumption of which is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030 (compared to 1990). However, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU was forced to revise its transformation plans.
