The European Commission is organising a special EU Energy Day on 14 November 2022 on the margins of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

First launched in 2016, it is still going strong despite pandemics and wars, because it has become one of the EU Commission’s success stories. Especially for what regards the engagement with international stakeholders.

The day will consist of a series of 6 high-level conferences addressing issues relating to renewable energy, energy efficiency and just transition. It will be hosted at the EU Pavilion of the COP27.

And as for the participants, those will be high-level representatives from EU strategic partners, notably the World Bank, IEA, IRENA, International Solar Alliance, and the German Environment Agency. 

Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, who will be one of the speakers, said: “In the context of the ongoing energy crisis, it is more important than ever to provide a forum for such broad international discussion of our most pressing energy issues within the medium to long-term context of the fight against climate change”.

SESSIONS

This year’s EU Energy Day will include the following sessions:

- Opening of the EU Energy Day: Accelerating the green transition to power out of the energy crisis

- Delivering on Glasgow’s commitments: Towards an inclusive and just transition

- Energy efficiency as a valuable resource – Boosting energy performance of the economy and renovating buildings

- Accelerating solar energy: A ribbon at a time

- Fueling the energy transition: Renewable hydrogen trade and partnerships for a carbon-free future 

- Digitalisation for sustainability – Accelerating our sustainability agenda and the clean energy transition

- Contrary to the first 5 sessions that will be in person, the sixth – Digitalization for sustainability – will be online.

The session focuses on digital technologies and services that can accelerate socio-ecological transformation and help make the optimization of modern energy systems more efficient. And of course, the challenges that they might bring our way.

Seems like quite an interesting session, but for those of you who have attended the European Maritime Days, there is a lot of talk, and little action. Especially concerning plastic in the oceans.
