Plenary Session

Closing ceremony with keynote speaker

Title: Is “green aviation” really possible?

In this talk we will consider whether the decarbonization of aviation to meet the Paris Agreement objective of keeping global warming to 1.5℃ is really feasible, and what would be needed to make it happen. In short, the aviation industry, with its present incentives, leadership, and culture, will not even come close to meeting the necessary carbon reduction goals. If we are serious about them, some drastic changes are needed—and quickly.

Aim of the Public Policy Energy and Environment is to support European Young Engineers in contributing to 2030 Climate & Energy Framework from the European Commission.
Our objectives and actions associated:
DEVELOP our understanding of EYE network (diversity, interest in the organization, focus on energy and environment related topics) and BUILD stronger relationships with our stakeholders.
INFORM and develop awareness about climate change and energy transition.
BUILD an active collaborative network about energy & environment in Europe.
To do so we are developing the EYE Map (photo). During this workshop we will introduce our work and have round table discussions where every EYE member organisation will share they best practices and challenges.
