Energy transition as a guarantor of sustainable economic development

On October 15, 2021, a conference on renewable energy sources was held at the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent.

The one-day conference has been jointly organized by the Italian and UK Embassies in Tashkent, together with Politecnico di Torino, Italy, and the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

It is commendable to note that the event falls in the framework of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) which has been led by the partnership of UK and Italy.

The event has a mixed-mode format, accommodating either in presence or remote (online) presentations, with a well-balanced mix of leading experts in the field, coming from international public institutions, Accademia, and companies.

The workshop will address the ecological transition in the energy sector, and the opportunities for both international cooperation on education and scientific and industrial collaboration. Sustainable development is pillar of the EU Green Deal, which covers energy but also many other elements, such as socio-economic ones.

The meeting will bring to the attention of the audience a combination of policy analyses and concrete case studies, giving the opportunity to share experiences and views towards the common goals. The event starts with the keynote speech of the COP26 Regional Ambassador for Europe, Central Asia, Turkey and Iran.
