About the Conference
Energy Policies and National Sovereignty in a Changing World
The importance of local expertise
In the face of accelerating environmental challenges and shifting global dynamics, the need for thoughtful dialogue and innovative solutions has never been greater.
Climatters 2025 emerges as a pivotal platform for addressing the multifaceted issues of sustainability.
While climate change remains at the heart of our discussions, this conference seeks to broaden the conversation, embracing diverse sustainability challenges that intersect with our environmental, economic, and social landscapes in a recently changing world order.
Climatters 2025 aims to foster an environment where policymakers, academics, industry leaders, and young innovators converge. Our mission is to not only exchange knowledge but to inspire actionable strategies that can lead to a more resilient and sustainable future.
We delve into the critical matters that shape our world today and define the legacy, we leave for generations to come. Climatters 2025 is more than a conference—it’s a call to action for those committed to making sustainability not just a goal, but a reality.
Alongside the main event, the lobby hosts exhibitions featuring sustainable and clean technology innovations.
With the valued collaboration of the Ministry of Energy, and the Ludovika University of Public Service.
