Energy Transition Conference

The ESC Energy Transition Conference is a timely conference to examine the progress of the EU member countries following the Paris Climate Agreement in advancing renewable energy adoption and their strategies employed to achieve this progress. Post Paris, European Union (EU) leaders decided to raise the EU’s 2030 targets for renewable energy deployment and energy efficiency from 30 percent to 32 percent and 32.5 percent respectively. This translates to GHG emissions reduction of 45 percent in 2030 (compared to 1990 levels). This new target is 5 percentage points more ambitious than the EU’s “Nationally Determined Contribution” committed under the Paris climate agreement.
