Catalogue data
| Abstract | The Energy Technology, Policy and Politics Summer School will provide for the first time a comprehensive overview of the technical, socioeconomic and political challenges and opportunities of creating a sustainable energy supply for the future, under the premise of net-zero (or even negative) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. |
| Learning objective | The school will enable young scientists to contribute towards the transformation and decarbonisation of the energy system, which will ultimately help solve the challenge of climate change. |
| Content | The aim of the summer school is to address the following questions from a technical, economic and policy perspective: How does the energy supply system function today and potentially in the future? What are the main challenges and opportunities in achieving a net-zero GHG emissions energy supply system? How can needed investments in the energy system be realised? How can policy accelerate the transition to a net-zero energy system? How can political ambition be increased and how can such accelerating policies be implemented? |
