Following the decisive COP28 resolution to transition away from fossil fuels and the EU’s recent regulatory strides, including raising renewable energy targets to 42.5% by 2030 and implementing measures to decarbonise the gas market and establish a hydrogen market, Res Publica Europa (RPE) cordially invites you to discuss the future of the EU’s energy landscape.

Europe’s recent legislative advancements position it as a global leader in sustainable transformation. Yet, the path ahead is laden with challenges: not only must the ambitious emissions reduction goals be attained, especially in hard-to-abate sectors, but also it is imperative to maintain societal support amidst rising living costs and ensure Europe’s energy transition are not undermined by pushback from other global players.
