A Leap Beyond Efficiency: Energy Sufficiency Policies in Europe, ODYSSEE-MURE #17 webinar

January 21, 2025

.

Join us on 21 January, for an insightful and thought-provoking webinar on energy sufficiency! As part of the Energy Efficiency Academy- ODYSSEE-MURE webinar series, our 17th edition kicks off the year with “A Leap Beyond Efficiency: Energy Sufficiency Policies in Europe”.

During this webinar, we will explore the critical role of reducing energy demand in achieving the European Union’s climate and energy objectives while respecting planetary boundaries. The speaker will elaborate on the concept of energy sufficiency, which emphasises meeting basic energy needs equitably and sustainably, and how it complements existing efforts in energy efficiency.

In light of recent events such as the 2022–2023 energy crisis, the importance of sufficiency measures has become increasingly evident. During this webinar, you will learn various strategies for reducing energy demand, including behavioural, regulatory, and infrastructural approaches. We will also examine successful policies in key sectors such as transport, households, and services, highlighting their potential to lower consumption and facilitate fair transitions. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the necessity of structural, long-term sufficiency strategies for achieving lasting reductions in energy and material consumption across Europe.

Following the presentation, you will have plenty of time to engage with the speaker during the Q&A session.

Diedert Debusscher, a freelance Community Builder and expert in EU Energy and Climate Policy, will moderate the webinar.
