Over the past four years, we have witnessed a growing transatlantic divide on energy and climate policy. The new US administration offers the opportunity for returning to closer cooperation between the US and the EU, but this does not necessarily mean things will return ‘back to normal’. How do we use the window of opportunity for shaping transatlantic energy and climate policies? The round table brings together energy and climate experts from the EU and the US for an open discussion about mutual expectations on energy policy, the low carbon energy transition, and climate change agendas.
