Dr. Rusnák was invited to give the keynote speech on Energy Transition and stated that “Energy Transition is an ongoing process which is as old as our civilization” and stressed that “actions need to be taken on national levels”. He also compared the process of Energy Transition with the ‘Gordian knot’ that cannot be cut but must be patiently solved layer by layer in order to move efficiently from fossil fuels based economies to climate-neutral ones. Oleksandr Antonenko, Head of Energy Efficiency of the Energy Charter Secretariat, provided input to the Panel on Energy in International Economic Law speaking about the right balance between energy security and sustainability in regulatory frameworks.
