Our future generation is making the energy sector different today
We have just over 10,000 days until 1 January 2050 - the time when many world leaders have committed to reach net zero. We are past the point of no return: the fight against climate change is at a tipping point.
November sees these leaders meet in Glasgow, UK, at the United Nations Conference of the Parties – or COP26 as it’s better known. This year’s conference is crucial to determine how to use what little time we have left. We are running out of excuses to simply nod our heads to the fact that climate change is real.
And while the world has set their eyes on the results of political discussions, we decided to use this opportunity to give the stage to the voices of the young generation at Siemens Energy. People whose future is at stake the most; colleagues whose friends march every Friday for a better and sustainable place to live.?
It’s exactly them, the leaders of tomorrow, who are striving to have an impact in their field of work, and in their daily life, the most. By taking responsibility and caring for the planet, they are motivated to effectively implement change where change is needed. And energy systems of tomorrow are one of them.
We are proud of the young engineers from different parts of the world who are making a difference today. They are working on various projects to meet the growing global energy demand while limiting emissions at the same time. Today, we’d like you to meet five of them.
"Hi, I'm Xuqian from China. Climate change is?driving technology development and global collaboration. I am very glad to witness the progress and contribute to it. But are we doing enough?"
"Hi, I’m Saba from the UK. My motivation for tackling climate change is to make the world a better place for my children. I am playing my part. What are you doing to make a difference?"
"Hi, I am Katrin from Germany. I want to lead by example, so I go to work by bike and eat a meatless diet to reduce my carbon footprint.?What?are you doing to make the world a more sustainable place?"
"Hi, I'm Monica from the United States. The world around us is changing and with that we're losing some of nature’s wonders. What can we do to save our planet for future generations?"
"Hi, I’m Sindre from Norway. Many of us take electricity and energy for granted. Providing clean, green energy is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Are we doing enough?"
Do you have the same questions as our colleagues and are eager to discuss the burning topic of decarbonization? Then join our passionate future leaders in this important conversation!
Some of them will be taking over our Twitter channel on 5 November, meaning they will be moderating the channel, answering your questions, discussing with you about the most pressing challenges and what we can do to cope with them. Make sure to follow @siemens_energy and stay tuned for the take-over!
