Energy Transition in Europe: Options for Constitutional Reform

Slutter
The Common Hall (Fællessalen) in the Danish parliament building, Christiansborg, Copenhagen

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.
