Europa im Diskurs - Debating Europe

Europe’s Misery: Exiting the Energy Crisis

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered rocketing energy prices which are hitting business and households hard across the continent. With popular discontent rising in several countries, including Germany, the EU and national governments have been scrambling to alleviate the short-term impact of the price increases while simultaneously trying to develop a long-term exit from their dependency on Russian energy and fossil fuels in general. There are even signs that the energy issue could create a dangerous split between Europe and the US. Is Europe capable of managing the immediate crisis while also maintaining its commitment to the Green Transition? And how vulnerable is that transition when Europe’s reliance on China for critical raw materials and rare earth metals is even more extreme than its current dependency on Russian energy?

As part of the “Debating Europe” series at Vienna’s Burgtheater, a high-level panel including German Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir and former Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern, as well as experts on economy and energy such as Adam Tooze, Monika-Köppl-Turyna and Karen Pittel, will discuss the options for exiting the energy crisis, maybe Europe’s biggest challenge in decades.
