Coal remains a primary source of energy for countries around the world, but momentum for transitioning to cleaner energy is building. With many European countries setting targets to phase out reliance on coal power by 2030, transitioning responsibly is a delicate balancing act that must consider the need for sustainability alongside both near-term and longer-term energy security.
At this session, panelists will discuss what responsible, rapid transition looks like that protects energy security and economic development while meeting ambitious targets for transitioning away from coal across Europe.
Convening leaders and experts from across the private and public sectors, this conversation will focus on solving the sequencing problem of transitioning away from coal: aligning security of supply, affordability, and investor confidence in a narrow time frame to ensure a transition that is managed rather than reactive.
