1. Introduction
Energy Transition has become a national strategy for both China and Germany. China has put great efforts in promoting the energy transition among various aspects, while Germany is playing a leading role at the global level since the implementation of Energiewende. In 2014, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed to emphasize innovation cooperation emphasized that both China and Germany will work together to deepen energy-dialogues.
Initiated and organized by the Institute of Applied Ecology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and IASS Potsdam, two series of the “Sino-German Workshop on Sustainable Energy Transition” have been successfully held in Shenyang 2017 and Guagnzhou 2018, which attracted almost one hundred high ranking scientists and participants from research units, industry and civil society. Moreover, couple of journalists reported instantly about the workshop results and the Kopernikus ENavi project. Therefore, the 2018 “Sino-German Workshop on Sustainable Energy Transition” comes up as a continuous action, with a focus on German experiences and the energy transition at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Marco Greater Bay Area of China.
On February 18, 2019, the China central government formally issued the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which is an important guide to the current and future cooperation and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (the Greater Bay Area). By 2035, the Greater Bay Area shall become an economic system and mode of development supported mainly by innovation, and the Greater Bay Area shall be established as an international first-class bay area for living, working and travelling. Energy transition plays a key role in this developmental strategy, which aims to develop “Energy Security System with the goal of clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient”.
The theme of the workshop will focus on the objectives and implementation paths of the energy transition between Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and the Greater Bay Area and Germany, with the aim of developing new insights and fostering cooperation between IASS and Chinese partners.
