Event Description
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.
DISCOVER | 10-12
Jan Rosenow from the Regulatory Assistance Project opens the day with a keynote address focusing on the role of energy efficiency in the broader energy transition.
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
Dries Acke, Director for the Energy Systems Initiative at the European Climate Foundation, share insights from their work and join for a panel discussion.
ENGAGE | 12-15
A lunch buffet is available while exhibitors from the US and EU demonstrate and discuss their approaches to addressing the challenges of the energy transition, including educators, SMEs, community organizations, start-ups, and NGOs.
