Fueling the Future: Economy, Energy and Environment

Time to Decide Europe Summit 2023 - Session 3
In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the globe faced surging energy prices. Addressing the energy supply challenge, and the need to decouple from its dependence on Russian energy, Europe came together in a decisive way - rapidly responding by securing alternative gas and oil supply, which - together with environmental and behavioural change factors - ensured the largest drop in natural gas demand in European history. At the same time, the EU stuck to its ambitious environmental protection goals - increasing, among others, its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Coal and nuclear have reared their face on the energy map.
Ensuring both environmental protection and economic competitiveness remains a challenge. Public support for the green transition has weakened in some EU member states. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act risks the flight of production facilities and investments out of Europe. The European single market has been eroded by active state intervention. How far should the control of the market go when a war is raging? And if at all, who should control the market - the EU or each country individually? Can Europe fuel a green and prosperous future?
