Energy transitions and the cost of living: how to strike the right balance between short term fixes and long-term solutions to the energy crisis?

The document reports on a session of the Think2030 Dialogue Sweden regarding the EU energy crisis. Panellists argued that while short-term measures were necessary, they must be adapted into tailored long-term policies to ensure a just transition. The primary objective identified is the transition away from fossil fuels to address both the energy and climate crises and improve geopolitical strategy.

• Panellists emphasized the need to evolve short-term energy crisis responses into tailored long-term policies to manage the distributional effects of the energy transition.
• The central priority for addressing the energy and climate crises, as well as for geopolitical strategy, is to move away from fossil fuels.
• Energy savings achieved during the year exceeded expectations, but these must be paired with actions to speed up a just transition.
