November 17, 2015 at 10:30 am - 1:00 pm

Join GACC for a luncheon & discussion about “Germany’s Energy & Climate Policies – Insight From A European Industry Perspective”, presented by Wolfgang Niedermark, former Vice President and Head of BASF in Berlin, and incoming Chairman and CEO of German Industry & Commerce Ltd in Hong Kong.

Topic

Wolfgang Niedermark will take a look at the German energy transformation (Energiewende) from a corporate stance in his talk on “Germany’s Energy & Climate Policies – Insight from a European Industry Perspective.” While German industry does not question the reality of climate change, German business interests have raised many questions about the emphasis of the current policy on renewables. With the closure of nuclear plants, Germany has introduced a time-table for the reduction of fossil fuels. Can these targets be met without damage to the economy?
