Don't miss the critical moment. Guiding ideas for the transformation of the energy system

In order to achieve the Paris climate goals in Germany and Europe, the energy system must be transformed. It is also important to provide technologies that make this possible worldwide. The need for action is great because multiple international crises, such as the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, exacerbate conflicting goals and complicate the global cooperation that is necessary to achieve the goal of climate neutrality. The Leopoldina discussion paper "Guiding ideas for the transformation of the energy system" discusses approaches for an effective and sustainable energy transition.
