"Society 4.0: the future of the European Green Deal"
In the context of the forthcoming Czech presidency, the Czech Republic will have a unique chance to take the initiative and contribute to shaping an updated Europe-wide strategy. Take part in the discussion held by The Aspen Institute and Opero together with the Neuron Endowment Fund.

- How is the EU's energy security secured now and how will it be in the future?
- Will the goals of the Green Deal be jeopardised or postponed, as its critics claim?
- Or will the current situation, on the contrary, dramatically accelerate the whole transition away from fossil fuels?
- Does moving away from Russian gas and oil mean a temporary return to coal and a renewed leaning towards nuclear energy? How is the Czech Republic preparing for this change?
All this and much more will be discussed by leading Czech figures and experts on themes connected with the transition to a low-carbon economy and society.
