Entwicklungstagung 2022

On the occasion of the Entwicklungstagung 2022, APPEAR will conduct a workshop on “Rethinking the Energy Agenda for Cities”.

During the workshop a book with the same title will be presented, which is the result of an APPEAR Project (SEA4cities), finalized in 2020.

The open access publication explores the multi-faceted dimensions of transition to energy sustainability in emerging cities. It discusses the latest developments on energy access and transition to sustainability throughout the overall value chain: from basic research in universities to documentation of lessons learned in the field. The authors look into the efforts needed for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 7 (affordable and clean energy) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and discuss the question of whether these goals’ achievement can conflict with other development goals such as decent work and economic growth. Furthermore, innovation in energy transition is introduced, both in technology and citizens’ engagement.

The workshop is dedicated to the presentation of the SEA4cities book and will have a hybrid format.
