Energy Transition in Europe: Options for Constitutional Reform
International Conference on European Energy Policies.
The conference aims to explore the political opportunities at the European constitutional level in order to promote a green energy transition. The conference may, inter alia, argue for a Danish political platform for a European energy and climate policy based on renewable energy.
The first part of the conference will deal with EURATOM, as nuclear power with its own treaty continues to have a special position in the EU among energy technologies.
The second part of the conference will address the constitutional possibilities for promoting a green energy transition, including the proposal for a new European Energy Transition Protocol.
The conference language is English.
