Satellite event: Making energy green and fair: a Peer Parliament discussion

Join the Peer Parliament: Making the energy transition green and fair!

How can we ensure an inclusive green energy transition? Which solutions can address energy poverty while switching to cleaner energy sources? Join the European Climate Pact and the Earth Society in the Peer Parliament discussion: Making the energy transition green and fair! Be part of the discussion, share your ideas and vote for your preferred solutions to make the transition fair. As energy plays a crucial role in the green transition and affects everyone, it is essential to make citizens voices heard in the policymaking process to meet energy and climate goals. To engage citizens in energy discussions, the Climate Pact and the Earth Society are hosting this discussion during the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2024 and the 5th Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival. Energy experts, Pact Community and policymakers will be invited to join the discussion, facilitate learning and foster participative democracy in energy decisions. Participants can join the networking cocktail that will take place after the event.
