PRESENTATION:

The main challenge facing humanity today is climate change. Because their consequences may be irreversible for the planet, it is necessary to manage the transition to a low-carbon economy and achieve to keep the rise in temperatures remaining below two degrees Celsius. In this sense, due to the importance of energy in human activities, and of cities, that concentrating almost half of the world population and being the focus of most carbon emissions, the urban energy transition stands as the central column of the process of transformation of the economy and the current energy model.

In the urban context, the energy transition includes, in addition to increasing energy efficiency, the use of local energy resources through the effective deployment of Smart Grids within the Smart City concept. Just as this concept of city seeks to achieve a high level of effectiveness in the provision of services demanded by citizens, efficiently managing available resources, effective policies for the urban energy transition are required.

The aim of this High-Level Conference is to advance the definition of effective policies to meet the technological and economic challenges of this transition. The event will be attended by representatives of the private sector and public administration to analyse the role of public actors in guiding this urban transition towards sustainable development and in the specific projects of Smart Cities in the south-western European region (SUDOE).
