The event aims to explore the strategic choices Italy faces in light of multiple energy and climate challenges. The energy crisis and the war in Ukraine have revived energy security as a political priority, with the need to increase diversification of energy supplies. The reconfiguration of energy flows presents risks but also opportunities.

The event is an opportunity to look beyond the technicalities of single dossiers that are being discussed ‘in the bubble’ and take the pulse of where the overall strategy of the European Green Deal is heading, including a stocktaking on European RES targets after last year’s encouraging figures on solar rooftop deployment, strategic reflections on the ‘new normal’ in energy prices and tradeoffs in Europe’s strategy to control more of the critical material and net zero technology value chains.
