Marine Cornelis joined Debating Europe for a conversation on EU’s Road to Fair Climate Adaptation: Citizen Voices and Local Impact
In this episode of Energ’Ethic, Marine Cornelis is joined by Tuscany Bell, Utility Sector Lead at the European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU). Together, they dive into the critical role that unions play in ensuring a just energy transition, where the rights of workers are protected, and no one is left behind.
In the latest Energ’ Ethic episode, Marine Cornelis and Camille Defard from the Jacques Delors Energy Centre discuss the impact of the upcoming European elections on the EU’s energy policy. Delving into the roles of citizen engagement, the legacy of Jacques Delors, and the European Green Deal, this episode explores the critical crossroads at which Europe stands in its pursuit of a sustainable and equitable energy future.
In a recent interview with ARTE, I stressed the pressing issue of summer energy poverty in Europe, a challenge that affects 20% of the population. This, along with insights from the Belgian Energy Renovation Week and the ComAct conference, underscores the urgent need for equitable and sustainable home renovations. Our focus must extend beyond energy efficiency to embrace community wellbeing and resilience, especially in the face of summer energy poverty. Join me in exploring how we can transform our approach to create homes that are not just energy-efficient, but inclusive and dignified spaces for all.
We need substantive dialogues and exchange good practices to make the energy transition a concrete reality. The Energy Transition Congress in Belgium was the right platform to do that.
As an advocate for sustainable energy systems, I stress the importance of grassroots involvement in shaping policies and solutions, ensuring they resonate with the people’s needs and truly embody the spirit of energy citizenship.
