energy transition as an impulse for social change: insights into the workshop of change
The energy transition is not only a political challenge, but also an important engine for social and economic change in Germany. This dynamic recently became clear at the event "Workshop of Change", in which Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and representatives: inside from business, politics and civil society met in order to discuss the future energy supply and the role of renewable energies in industry.
The importance of the energy transition for society
A central concern of the discussion was the importance of the energy transition for industrial structural change and the competitiveness of Germany. Federal President Steinmeier emphasized that "we must not get tired of promoting the change in the energy landscape". This shows how urgently it is to address the challenges of the energy transition, which affect not only industry, but also the entire society.
Integration of the citizens: inside as a key
The role of citizens should be particularly emphasized: inside in this process. Eliza Diekmann-Cloppenburg, Mayor of Coesfeld, presented a citizen participation model that ensures that the local population is actively involved in the expansion of renewable energies. This example makes it clear that the success of the energy transition is closely linked to the acceptance and participation of the community.
Cooperation as a success factor
The event also included the fourth “workshop talks” in which the decarbonization of energy -intensive industries was treated. Representatives of different institutions came together to discuss how cross -sectoral cooperation can be achieved. Heba Aguib from the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt said that "all social, political and economic dynamics must be taken into account for the goal of climate neutrality by 2050."
Innovations by start-ups
An interesting element of the event was the presentation of innovative solutions through start-ups. Together with established companies, young companies play a crucial role in the implementation of the energy transition. For example, Martin Schichtel from Kraftblock introduces a high -temperature memory that enables industry to use green process heat. This illustrates the transformative power of technological innovations within the energy transition.
The workshop of change: a forum for new exchange
The "Workshop of Change" promotes the dialogue through transformation processes in various social areas, such as in healthcare and agriculture. This series of events is an important step to bring the different parts of society together and develop solutions together.
FAZIT
The discussion about the energy transition in industry underlines how important an integrative approach is to cope with the challenges of change. The cooperation between industry, politics and citizens: inside is essential to achieve the climate goals and to shape a sustainable future. With a look back at the events, it turns out that the path to the energy transition requires not only technological innovations, but also social cohesion.
