On 28 - 29 March 2023, the German government invites the world to its inspiring annual dialogue on the Global Energiewende, the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (#betd23), which has become the leading international forum on the green energy transformation. Every year, high-level participants from politics, industry, science and civil society meet in Berlin for two days to discuss the shift towards a sustainable energy system. In 2022, the BETD took place as a hybrid conference with limited access. This year's dialogue is planned to be held as a traditional on-site conference with a public stream of the ongoing programme.
For several years, the Federal Foreign Office, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE e.V.) have invited international journalists to report on the BETD. This BETD Media Fellowship allows young journalists from all over the world to gather in the German capital to gain access to this exclusive conference, talk to high-level players from science, politics, industry and civil society, as well as network with other BETD Media Fellows.
