Climate is the Economy
Forum: Energy Transition Made Together by All
Energy transition in response to the climate crisis cannot be achieved through technological change or government policy alone. It requires the active participation of all members of society, as it is directly connected to our daily lives and local communities.
In particular, in areas where complex conflicts arise—such as local acceptance, grid expansion, and renewable energy infrastructure—democratic procedures based on social consensus and public dialogue are essential. Energy transition is no longer the task of experts or government alone; it is a joint project created together by citizens, local communities, industry, and government.
Against this backdrop, this forum—under the theme “Climate is the Economy: An Energy Transition Made Together by All”—seeks to explore the direction of an energy transition grounded in citizen participation, as well as approaches for communication and conflict resolution throughout the process.
We sincerely invite your interest and active participation.
