We are in the middle of a global energy crisis. In the latest edition of the "Sustain Ability - The Potsdam Dialogues" podcast, Gunnar Luderer, Lead of the Energy Systems Research Group and Deputy Chair of the Department Transformation Pathways at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), and Laura Cozzi, Chief Energy Modeler at the International Energy Agency (IEA), discuss what is needed to accelerate the clean energy transition away from fossil fuels towards renewables, especially with regard to the war in Ukraine and the resulting tensions between Russia and the West.
The entire fossil system is at an incredibly high level of energy prices, putting affordability, cost of living and energy security issues as well as climate security in the very centre of the public debate. Laura Cozzi from IEA and Gunnar Luderer from PIK discuss what is needed to accelerate the clean energy transition. Together, they explore energy saving options that everybody can use. They talk about critical steps towards transforming our current energy system. And they explain why they remain cautiously positive, despite all the challenges ahead.
