The Green European Foundation is organising in cooperation with the EQUO Foundation, Fundacio Nous Horitzons and Fundacion Renovables a conference in Madrid exploring the problems and potentials for new energy models in Europe and Spain.
As the necessity of combatting climate change increases, the importance of finding sustainable ways of powering our society grows also. Discussions around energy security and sustainability are therefore key to both Spain’s and Europe’s future development. This conference will see experts from the European Parliament as well as from NGOs take on some of the main challenges which Spain and the EU will face in the future.
