Abstract
The workshop focused on the energy transition and discussed the impact of the scarcity of raw materials on the envisaged decarbonization path of the European economy. With the aim of providing actionable recommendations in the context of a pan-European approach, participants underscored the importance of enhancing cooperation with the United States and recalibrating the transition process so as to make it crisis-resilient. The latter, in particular, would entail greater incentives, more funding, and strategic management so as to prevent or mitigate future asymmetric shocks that would jeopardize the pan-European transition. This policy brief summarizes discussions held on March 16th and 17th, 2023 at a tripartite workshop hosted by the Policy Observatory at the Luiss School of Government in Rome jointly with the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy of the Geneva Graduate Institute and the “Reversing the Gaze” Project at the Law School of the University of Edinburgh. The tripartite workshop series aims to deepen the exchange of experiences across European countries on their reponses to pan-European challenges. The organizers acknowledge Gianclaudio Torlizzi for delivering the workshop’s keynote presentation.
