A drastic move towards sustainable production and consumption patterns is urgently needed. The energy sector plays a relevant role in the transition towards sustainable development. The EU has clearly embarked in a trajectory towards carbon neutrality by 2050. But the EU strategy can become fully effective only if its closest neighbours follow a similar path, as recalled by the 2021 EC Communication \u201cA new Agenda for the Mediterranean\u201d. This requires strengthened cooperation at regional level. The Ministerial Declaration on Energy, issued in June 2021 by the Ministers of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) represents an important step forward in the realization of a just, secure and fair energy transition in the Mediterranean countries, in line with the SDG7 objectives and the Paris Agreement. The Declaration identifies a series of overarching objectives and highlights the need to enhance regional cooperation. The proposed event will discuss the role of the main Mediterranean energy stakeholders in fostering energy and climate transition. It will provide an assessment of current progress, identify the main challenges and needs, and quantify the benefits along the sustainable development dimension. It will discuss how regional energy cooperation can help meet the carbon neutrality goal in the Euro-Mediterranean area, what are the main needs and the already available instruments that can best accompany the transition, as reflected in the Roadmap for Action developed under the UfM umbrella.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme<\/strong> <strong>Opening<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Marco Berti Palazzi, International Relations and Enlargement Unit, DG Energy, European Commission<\/p>\n<p><strong>The road to net zero carbon in the Mediterranean: progresses, challenges and benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ms. Lisa Guarrera, Director of the Monitoring and Modeling Division, OME<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Stakeholders dialogue: \u201cOn the road to net zero carbon: progress, challenges and the role of regional cooperation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Moderator<\/strong><\/em> Mr. Kamel Benaceur, CEO Nomadia Energy<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Discussants<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Grammenos Mastrojeni, Deputy Secretary General, UfMs<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Roberta Boniotti, Secretary General, MEDENER<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jauad El Kharraz, Executive Director, RCREEE<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Angelo Ferrante, Secretary General, MED-TSO<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hasan \u00d6zko\u00e7, Director, MEDREG<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Houda Ben Jannet, General Director, OME<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Interactive Q&amp;A session<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions and closure<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lapo Pistelli, Chairman OME \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"template":"","class_list":["post-2233","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/2233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/2233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2609,"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/2233\/revisions\/2609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ufmsecretariat.org\/mediterraneanpavilion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
