Energy Futures

Baltic University Programme First announcement of the BUP workshop
Energy futures - local solutions for the Baltic Sea Region
17 -21 October 2010
Uppsala, Sweden

Energy production and energy use is one of the critical issues that must be solved for a sustainable future. It is also one of the keys for adaptation and mitigation of climate change. This workshop will focus on energy mostly in the local context and how to achieve a transition to a fossil fuel free energy system. We will review the entire spectrum of energy sources and look at how to improve energy efficiency. The workshop will rely on expertise from Uppsala University, one of the European Centres for Research on renewable energy systems, from Uppsala municipality and county, and the BUP network.

Mutta mistä asioista hallitukset konferenssissa oikein keskustelevat? Ja mitä parhaimpia käytäntöjä ja innovaatioita tulisi Suomen nostaa esille konferenssissa?
