Energy is a central, but often very controversial issue in the
negotiations around the Johannesburg Summit. As a constructive contribution
to this debate, the Heinrich Böll Foundation has commissioned
a discussion paper at the Öko-Institut. Elaborated with collaborators
from across the globe, the paper focuses on key strategies with
a potential for consensus among the most diverse actors: energy
efficiency and renewable energies.
After a presentation of the central elements of this paper, this
debate will provide a space for reactions and comments from a variety
of players. The consequences of a global energy strategy for German
policy will be one of the key issues for discussion.
