In dit VVM-café zullen we de ontwikkelingen in het Nederlandse energiesysteem onder de loep nemen. We bespreken o.a. de NEV, de WLO en het Energieakkoord. Met o.a. Pieter Hamming (PBL), Foppe de Haan (SER) en Jan Matthijsen (PBL).

Met de Nationale Energieverkenning (NEV) kijken we naar de huidige stand van zaken in de periode tot 2030. De bijdrage en rol van het Nederlandse Energieakkoord wordt toegelicht. Als laatste laat de Toekomstverkenning Welvaart en Leefomgeving (WLO) zien wat nodig is om op de langere termijn (2050) naar een koolstofarme energievoorziening te gaan.

Het programma en de discussie worden geleid door Maarten van der Kloot Meijburg (eRisk Group en VVM-sectie Energie).

Since the discovery of fire, mankind has used various energy sources to aid our development. The energy system has been continually changing, as the economy and technology progress.

Today, energy systems are confronted with pressing global challenges: climate protection; economic and social development; poverty eradication; adequate food production; health for all; and the conservation of ecosystems, peace and security. A major transformation – an energy transition - is required to address these challenges.

December 2014: Lima. December 2015: Paris. Insiders know: this is about the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Others might wonder: UNFCCC? Paris? What is all the fuss about?

2015 will be a very interesting year, probably with lots of media reports on the ongoing climate negotiations. These two sessions should enable you to put what you read and hear in context, learning from experienced people in the field. You can sign up for individual sessions as well as for both.

The Road to Paris - Part 2: What to expect?

In the second session, we will look at what can be expected from the coming negotiations in Paris. Now understanding what is happening behind closed doors, what can we expect will be the outcome this time? Will it be another disappointment like Copenhagen, or will it be a step in the right direction? And how do we know that countries comply with agreements and commitments?

Chairman:

• Prof. Hans Opschoor

Speakers:

• Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy (European Parliament): Expectations from a European perspective
• Ivo de Zwaan (head of the Dutch delegation (Ministry of Infrastructure & Environment)): The UNFCCC negotiation process, and the role of the Netherlands in it
• René Lefeber (University of Amsterdam): How do we know whether countries comply with agreements and commitments?
• Prof. Joyeeta Gupta (University of Amsterdam): Paris negotiations in relation to development and human right

**Young professionals are no student members and up to 35 years. When registering indicate your age.

On May 13, we will kick off explaining how the process works. How is the Convention organised? What is the role of the Kyoto Protocol and possibly other protocols? What is it all those people do in Lima and Paris, who are they, and what is really involved in the negotiations? Who are the key players? How do we know that countries comply with agreements and commitments?

Next meetings: October 6, November 2
