Energy Transition
The transition toward a sustainable energy model is a global challenge that demands collective effort. It considers environmental priorities, the needs of people, workers, and communities.
The energy sector is at the center of profound transformations, driven by environmental, technological, economic and geopolitical factors. Understanding the evolution of the global energy outlook, the conditions affecting access to resources, the role of fossil and renewable sources, the evolution of the workforce, technologies, and the impact of climate policies allow us to interpret the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.
Climate change is a major global challenge. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is defined as a significant and lasting change in the Earth's average climatic conditions, attributable to both natural causes and, increasingly, human activity, particularly greenhouse gas emissions.
Accelerating the transition means investing in a balanced and forward-looking energy mix, with renewables playing a central role. This is key to meeting growing energy demand while ensuring environmental sustainability, security of supply, and investment viability.
Energy security is the ability of a system to ensure continuous, stable, and affordable access to energy. It is not only about resource availability, but also about infrastructure resilience, source diversification, and the ability to respond to crises or disruptions. In an increasingly interconnected and vulnerable global environment, strengthening energy security is critical to ensuring the stability of socio-economic systems.
Profound transformations like the energy transition must be managed with competence and responsibility. That’s why education is a priority. Ensuring a just transition means not only creating new job opportunities in the rapidly evolving energy sector but also promoting awareness and engagement among younger generations.
Achieving a secure, accessible, and affordable energy future requires investment in infrastructure.
Digital transformation is a key enabler of sustainable solutions, modern infrastructure, and efficient energy distribution networks that benefit both citizens and businesses. From technology development to process innovation, AI is already making a vital contribution toward building a clean, fair, and resilient energy future.
