La Fundación Focus-Abengoa organiza para los días 26, 27 y 28 de mayo la Escuela de la Transición Energética y el Cambio Climático en Sevilla.

1. Objetives:
Economic crisis has slipped down climate change from
the political agenda. Nevertheless, the last IPPC report
underscored again the urgency of action on climate
change. While there is only one year left to Paris (OMNR),
where the aim is to reach an international binding
agreement to limit CO2 emissions that substitutes the
Kyoto Protocol, the situation in Europe is divergent.
Germany has resigned to the use of nuclear power and
it is in the process to shut down all its nuclear plants.
Moreover, it has initiated the process of “energy
transition” (“Energiewende”) to reach UM% of renewable
energy in OMRM. Meanwhile, in Spain, the government
has taken restrictive measures for the development of
renewable energy. Also, dysfunctions of the price
fixation system of its energy market have arisen.
However, “energy transition” is considered as one of the
most fundamental policies to advance in the European
Union integration. In other countries such as France it
is already subject of national debate.
At the same time, the possibility to reach new sources
of hydrocarbons such as “shale gas” through the
controversial “fracking”, the cost of renewable energy
and its participation in the energy mix, are also matter of
social debate.
This course will analyze the above mentioned issues in
the framework of the new EU Strategy, to fight Climate
Change under the new HOMPM package, and the
perspectives of a global governance system for controlling
the CO2 emissions that takes into account the common
but differentiated responsibilities of different countries.
Addressed to:
University students and professors, professionals of
the energy sector and the environment, and citizens
interested in the energy transition and climate change.
