On Tuesday, April 23, the EPC program at Johns Hopkins University will host
a presentation by Matthias Duwe, head of the Climate Program at Berlin's
Ecologic Institute. The presentation is part of our monthly EPC Forum
speakers series. We hope that you can join us. RSVPs are requested, to my
attention.
The presentation will also be available on our YouTube channel a week after
the presentation.

How to Transform Europe into a Low-Carbon Economy by 2050
JHU EPC Forum Series, 12.00-1.30pm, Room 230, 1717 Massachusetts Ave., NW,
Washington, DC
About Matthias Duwe
Matthias Duwe heads the climate team at the Ecologic Institute, an
international environmental think tank with offices in Berlin, Brussels and
Washington, DC. His work focuses on the European Union's energy and climate
policies, including their connections to national policy and the
international climate negotiations. He is also an expert on the European
Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), carbon markets and the climate change
dimensions of development cooperation. Prior to joining Ecologic, Matthias
Duwe worked from 2001 to 2011 with Climate Action Network Europe (CAN
Europe), a leading NGO umbrella organization - originally serving as Policy
Researcher, then taking on the role of Director from 2005, where he led a
team of ten in the Brussels Secretariat. He has served as an expert on an
array of EU working groups, also covering topics such as alternative fuels,
hydrogen technologies, and carbon capture and storage.
About the Presentation
The European Union (EU) has set itself the ambitious goal of decarbonizing
its economy over the next four decades. Germany has gone a step further by
setting quantitative greenhouse gas, renewable, and energy efficiency
targets for 2030, 2040 and 2050 while also phasing out nuclear power - how
will Europe achieve these goals, and what is the role of the US?
Europe has experience with policy instruments to support clean energy and
cut emissions, but the measures in place thus far are not enough to achieve
the long-term transformation of the current energy system required to
decarbonize Europe by mid-century. A three-year research cooperation among
leading European universities and modeling groups aims to shed light on this
challenge, analyzing the region's climate policy mix now and going forward.
Ecologic Institute coordinates this effort, known as the CECILIA2050
project. Duwe's presentation will provide background on the EU and German
policy experience as well as the state of discussions on the next emission
reduction steps to be taken - with an eye to climate policy developments in
the United States.
