Agora Energiewende
The world's energy systems are changing. Renewable energies have moved from niche technologies to their broad-scale adoption in many countries. In addition to prevalent challenges related to grid integration and storage, energy transitions across the world are faced with socioeconomic and financing hurdles that require comprehensive strategies that complement technological solutions.Energy transitions need to progress within complicated socioeconomic contexts and political priorities that vary by country related to economic development, employment, and social equity. Compounding these hurdles are substantial financing challenges, particularly for developing countries already struggling with debt burdens and limited access to capital markets. Understanding these complex dynamics and integrating their analysis into planning and implementation roadmaps is essential to ensure inclusive and just transitions to clean energy systems.Under the umbrella of the Agora Think Tanks, Agora Energiewende develops politically feasible and science-based strategies and solutions for the transformation to climate neutrality – in Germany, Europe, and internationally. As a think tank and policy lab we facilitate a productive exchange of ideas amongst stakeholders from politics, business, science and civil society. As a non-partisan, non-profit organisation funded by foundations and public institutions, we are independent of corporate and partisan interests. Our exclusive mission is to serve the climate and the common good.
