IEEE PES ESPAÑA | [MEPI Conference] | Why are climate policies more necessary than ever? Economic development, environment and security of supply
Estimados Miembros del Capítulo IEEE PES ESPAÑA y de la comunidad de sistemas eléctricos de potencia,
Dear IEEE PES Spain Members and Colleagues from power and energy community,
Continuing with the webinar series on the topic THE ENERGY TRANSITION | Towards a DECARBONIZED ECONOMY, we invite you to attend the following seminar organized within the framework of Comillas' Máster Universitario en Sector Eléctrico.
In this seminar, Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera (Iberdrola) will talk about the need for climate policies.
Title: Why are climate policies more necessary than ever? Economic development, environment and security of supply
Content: Having just arrived from the Azerbaijan Climate Summit (COP 29) organized by the United Nations, Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera will show that the energy transition is not only about the environment (climate change, biodiversity, air quality...) but also about economics (since most of the clean solutions are more competitive...) and security of supply, of enormous value as we could see with the Ukraine crisis. How behind climate policies there are industrial policies to attract investments, how Spain is well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities, and how governments need to approve public policies that move the economy in this direction and the collaboration between everyone (companies, universities, governments, NGOs...) in alliances.
