Put people at the heart of energy transition policies, EU Chief Scientific Advisors recommend
|
Today, the European Commission’s Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA) delivered a Scientific Opinion on a systemic approach to the energy transition in Europe. In their opinion, the Advisors provide policy recommendations on how the Commission can contribute, accelerate, and facilitate the clean energy transition at the European and global level. One of their key recommendations is that a sustainable and fair transition to a climate-neutral energy system requires not only innovative technologies, but also a people-centric approach that actively involves all participants in the energy environment.
Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:

The European Union is leading the global fight against climate change by taking action to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Transforming the energy system is a necessary effort to reach this goal. This Scientific Opinion recommends how to do it in an efficient, inclusive and fair way, reaping the benefits of innovative technologies such as digitalization and ensuring that no person or place is left behind.
