Earth 2050: transformative strategies for a climate-positive planet  

View programme PDF
Apply now!

Over the past two decades, IKEM Academy has brought together more than 450 partic­i­pants from 60+ countries to examine how devel­op­ments in social innovation, low-carbon policy, climate finance and sector coupling can accel­erate the transition to a carbon-neutral energy system.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of IKEM Academy, climate action is more urgent than ever. But the most effective approach is far from straight­forward. After all, climate and energy aren’t isolated issues; they’re embedded within a broader political, legal, economic and social context.

Current news headlines highlight this complexity. Amid the global fallout from crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, discus­sions of renewable energy production are raising questions related to inter­na­tional agree­ments, national policy, human rights and economic growth.  

Given these inter­con­nected challenges, how realistic is radical change? What’s the most promising path forward when even modest decar­bon­i­sation efforts face political, legal, economic and social obstacles?

IKEM Academy 2023

This year’s IKEM Academy, titled ‘Earth 2050: trans­for­mative strategies for a climate-positive planet’, inves­ti­gates how bold action and out-of-the-box thinking can empower commu­nities, foster inclusive decision-making, build resilience – and pave the way towards climate neutrality by 2050.   

The five-day Academy features inter­active workshops, presen­ta­tions, a site visit and panel discus­sions led by renowned energy and climate experts. Highly qualified researchers, profes­sionals and students from around the world will have an oppor­tunity to discuss topics such as: 

  • How can we navigate the process of system trans­for­mation while balancing diverse needs and interests?
  • In an era of deepening global conflict, how can we build consensus for climate action?
  • How can adaptive measures respond effec­tively to local needs – and is it possible to scale up these solutions?
  • What role can new digital technologies and artistic initia­tives play in promoting collab­o­rative responses?

IKEM Academy 2023 will be held from 03–07 July in Berlin, Germany. To apply, submit your completed appli­cation form by 31 May.

We hope to see you this summer!
