11th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue 2025
March 18 - March 19
📅 March 18-19, 2025
Around the world, political ambition to accelerate climate action and to transform our energy systems is advancing: we are seeing record growth in sustainable energy sources, which are projected to surpass coal as the largest source of electricity by the end of 2025. However, this transition is taking place at very uneven speeds. We need to broaden the momentum to reach all regions of the world.
Coordinated international action, innovative approaches and effective financial support are key to achieving the objectives the world has set itself at COP28: tripling renewable energy capacity, doubling energy efficiency and transitioning away from fossil fuels. With this in mind, we must come together to share experiences, showcase solutions, and build alliances that will empower societies around the globe to a just transition to 1.5 degrees.
To this end, the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action are jointly sponsoring the 11th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue organized by the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE), the German Solar Association (BSW), the German Energy Agency (dena) and eclareon.
With around 40 country delegations and, in total, more than 2000 attendees from government, business, academia and civil society from over 100 countries in 2024, the BETD is one of the premier international hubs on the global energy transition, a forum where challenges can evolve into real-world solutions. In its 11th edition, the BETD will continue this tradition of providing a platform on global energy transition, even as it falls into the period of elections in Germany. It will put a special focus on how investment for the energy transition and green growth in emerging markets and developing economies can be mobilized.
