The task of building more energy-efficient, climate-friendly and
sustainable societies is the defining challenge of the 21st
century. Striving to become the world's first major renewable
energy economy by 2050, Germany is a global front runner in
environmental policy and practice. Requiring massive investments in
green technologies and infrastructure, Germany's ambitious shift
from fossil fuels and nuclear power to renewables requires nothing
less than an 'energy revolution.' How and why did Europe's largest
economy embrace a challenge that has been compared to the first
landing on the moon? What does this transition entail? Is the
German experience transferable to other industrialized nations such
as the United States? Experts from business, academia, governmental
agencies and non-profit think tanks offer multi-disciplinary
perspectives on the experiences behind and the challenges ahead.
They open up new viewpoints and avenues for shared insight on
environmental governance, energy security, technological
innovation, green landscape and urban design, as well as on the
possibilities for transatlantic partnership and cooperation.
Experts from business, academia, governmental agencies and
non-profit think tanks to form a transnational and
multi-disciplinary perspectives on the combined challenges of
environmental sustainability and energy security in the United
States and Germany.
