Tecnologie Energetiche
2021-03-05 19:00 - 20:00 | Online Event
Discuteremo la disposizione territoriale delle fonti e delle tecnologie energetiche utilizzate oggi in Italia e in Europa ed i rispettivi pro e contro e quali potrebbero essere riprogettate e/o sostituite analizzando quelle che potenzialmente potrebbero sostituirle migliorando il rapporto prestazioni/emissioni. Cercheremo inoltre di comprendere come cambia la scelta delle tecnologie utilizzate nei vari paesi in base alla geopolitica analizzando se e perché per alcune nazioni sarebbe più sostenibile continuare ad usare gli attuali impianti piuttosto che costruirne di nuovi.
L’obiettivo è quello di capire come tecnicamente cambiano gli scenari in Europa e soprattutto a che punto è l’Italia rispetto al target 2030 e come praticamente fare per diventare un’economia climaticamente neutra.

Renewables In the Supply Chain of Multinational Enterprises
2021-04-08 16:00 - 17:30

Green Economy
2021-05-14 21:00 - 23:00 | Online Event
Il secondo webinar organizzato da YES Europe – Italy approfondirà il tema della green economy , analizzandone punti di forza e di debolezza
L’obiettivo è comprendere quando si può parlare di green economy, quali scopi persegue, quali sono le misure economiche auspicate per favorire lo sviluppo sostenibile e quali limiti presenta al giorno d’oggi.
Focus sull’Italia: parleremo di come la green economy produce ricchezza nel nostro Paese, ponendo l’attenzione sugli investimenti sulla sostenibilità più diffusi . Analizzeremo le peculiarità, le difficoltà e le sfide future che riguardano l’Italia, con uno sguardo anche all’ Europa.
Cercheremo inoltre di mettere in luce gli aspetti più controversi dell’ innovazione sostenibile. Quando può essere davvero considerata tale? Si rivela sempre una mossa vincente per la salvaguardia del pianeta? O ha un lato oscuro non ancora esplorato?
IL WEBINAR è IN ITALIANO

Green New Deal
2021-05-16 17:00 - 18:00 | Online Event
il terzo webinar organizzato da Yes-_Europe-Italy approfondirà il tema del Green Deal europeo.
Presenteremo il Green Deal, la sua composizione, quali nazioni sono state le promotrici e quali parti hanno invece avanzato delle opposizioni.
Durante l’incontro cercheremo di capire quali sono le nazioni che godono dei finanziamenti europei maggiori e come pensano di usufruirne. Non solo, il Green Deal prevede di aiutare quelle realtà che invece saranno colpite dalla transizione energetica, ma come?
Infine verrà lasciato spazio per analizzare il comportamento dell’Italia in confronto con le altre nazioni.

Are you concerned about diversity in your workplace?
If you’ve answered YES to any of these questions and we just have the right event for you.
This October, we are hosting an event at KTH Innovation to highlight the issue of Gender Equality in the Energy Industry. Our Guest Speakers are prominent women who have played a crucial role in shaping the energy transition in the Nordics and the rest of the world.

Join us in person at Teknikringen 1, KTH Innovation, Stockholm to learn about the experiences of our guest speakers and network with them. The speaker event will then be followed by a fun case workshop for our audience to reflect upon the challenges towards gender equity and brainstorm the solutions of how they want the future to look.

“Gender equity and environmental sustainability may seem like unrelated issues, but research shows that they are in fact closely intertwined. Women and other underserved groups are disproportionately impacted by the global climate crisis, but they are also uniquely positioned to lead the fight for sustainability.
