Politics and Policy of Italian-German Cooperation in the Energy Transition

This series of podcasts explores opportunities and challenges for cooperation between Germany and Italy as both countries seek to decarbonise their energy systems while ensuring supply security. It is part of a project entitled An Italian-German Dialogue on Energy Security and Transition amid Russia’s War on Ukraine, which the IAI is undertaking with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office.

In this episode, IAI Researcher Max Münchmeyer talks with H.E. Hans-Dieter Lucas, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Italy, and Nathalie Tocci, Director of the IAI, about the political and financing strategies of Italy and Germany for the energy transition, and how these fit into the broader framework of the European Green Deal.
