    We are in the middle of the first global energy crisis. The entire fossil system is at an incredibly high level of energy prices, putting affordability, cost of living and energy security issues as well as the climate crisis in the very centre. Gunnar Luderer, Lead of the Energy Systems Group & Deputy Chair of the Research Department Transformation Pathways at PIK, and Laura Cozzi, Chief Energy Modeler at the IEA, discuss what is needed to accelerate the clean energy transition away from fossil fuels towards renewables. Together, they explore energy saving options that everybody can follow, talk about critical steps that are key now towards transforming our current energy system into and explain why they remain cautiously positive, despite all the challenges ahead.
