The Energy Future Exchange, EFEX, hosts its Brussels conference, a comprehensive celebration and call-to-action highlighting the potential of the EU and US to lead in creating a clean, climate-friendly energy future, Tuesday, September 24, 2019, at the SQUARE Convention Center. Featuring insights and innovations from both sides of the Atlantic, this one-day event culminates EFEX's two-year transatlantic civil society dialogue. Participation is free and open to the public.
Monika Zimmermann, a leading figure in international sustainability cooperation, will moderate the conference, which is divided into three segments: discover, engage, and act.

A new documentary film soon to be released by Think-Film Impact Production exploring unexpected approaches to the energy transition will be presented by the director. (Details forthcoming)
Dr. Carolyn Snell from the University of York whose research investigates the intersections of energy, climate, and social policy, including the concept of fuel poverty, and
