Weltpolitik – ungefiltert III: Abhängig, verwundbar, erneuerbar?

Europe has done a lot since 2022 to free itself from its dependence on Russian gas. However, the new energy order is not automatically more secure: supply chains run through crisis regions, critical raw materials are in the hands of a few players, infrastructure is the target of attacks and rising prices can shake social trust.

What does energy security mean in a world in which sea routes, raw materials, climate and war are interlinked? How vulnerable are modern societies when energy supplies are dependent on pipelines, grids, ports, submarine cables or digital control systems? And how can Europe become more independent without creating new dependencies?

On the third evening of "Weltpolitik ungefiltert", we welcome Tim Bosch (DGAP) and Captain Franz Conrad (Bundeswehr) to discuss energy as a question of foreign, security and social policy - and what all this means for Europe, Germany and Saxony.

To the series:

"Weltpolitik ungefiltert" is a dialog-oriented series of events on current issues of foreign and security policy. In the relaxed atmosphere of a craft beer bar in Chemnitz, we bring international developments from the news and feeds back into the conversation. Together with experts and you, we will classify events, discuss different perspectives and ask what global changes mean for us - here in Saxony. The series sees itself as an open discussion space for anyone who wants to listen, ask questions and think along.

The event series is a cooperation with the German Council on Foreign Relations, the Chair of International Politics at Chemnitz University of Technology and the U Brambory Czech Craft Beer Bar & Creative Space.
