Professor Peter Droege speaks at the event Strategic Foresight for Cities: future-proofing development through innovative design and partnerships, hosted by Braillard Foundation and Futures Hub for Sustainability on the occasion of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos,19-23 January 2026.
Professor Peter Droege has accepted an invitation to join the Scientific Advisory Board of the August 30 to September 2026 SDEWES2026 Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems in Gran Canaria. This is now the 21st Latin American event of this successful series of international environmental infrastructure conferences. It is associated with the Journal on Sustainable Development. Prof. Droege has been a reviewer for over a number of years.
Urban Energy Transition, Third Edition: Cities and Regions for a stable climate is the most current scientific and practice-based compendium on energy transformations in the global urban system. It also yields perspectives on climate stabilization and the need for comprehensive and additional climate action and policy frames that work in conjunction with the energy transition. This fresh volume examines both established and emerging economic, design, governance, policy and technology related insights and contains contributions from Africa, Asia, Australia, Central Europe and North America.
World Systemic Forum Feature 2025
Friday, 17.01.2025,
13.30 – 16.30 CET
University Liechtenstein
‘What systemic changes are needed in the economic, monetary and financial system to reverse the negative developments of the last 50 years for the environment and climate stability over the next 50 years? The question is not academic: while measures are in principle of a project nature, the fundamental existential dynamic that needs to be halted and reversed is of a decidedly systemic nature. Is the monetary system even capable of this?
In order to explore these questions and articulate principles for a more systemically sustainable monetary and financial system, a group of experienced minds from related fields are coming together at the University of Liechtenstein for a public roundtable. It is one of the roundtables that will be held in the run-up to the World Systemic Forum of Rudi Hilti’s System Change Foundation on January 18, 2025. It is actively supported by Prof. Peter Droege, who says: “Sustainability Finance, i.e. using money in a regenerative and climate-stabilizing way, should be called SDG Zero: fundamental financial system dynamics drive environmental change. Yet this is not one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

EUROSOLAR holds its 15th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES 2021) on March 16-18, 2021 as global web summit. This allows scientists all over the world to participate.
The IRES conference is dedicated to scientific findings on storage systems in the world of smart and distributed energy resources – its central focus on storage technology encompasses also legal, policy, network and market aspects. IRES provides a coherent overview of energy storage technologies that can enable the global transition towards the decarbonisation of economies through distributed and ubiquitous renewable energy systems.
As Special Advisor to the Renewables in Cities 2019 Global Status Report (REC-GSR), Peter Droege welcomes the first Preliminary Findings that has just been released.
The REC-GSR will map out the current trends and developments of renewable energy in cities. The report series aims to accelerate transformations to renewables in cities, support city commitments and inspire innovation in policy, financing and technology development. The preliminary findings serve as the basis for the first full report, to be released in September 2019.
Peter Droege will open EUROSOLAR’s 12th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES) and the parallel 7th Energy Storage Europe (ESE) events and exhibit at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.
Peter Droege opens and chairs the 11th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES) 13-15 March 2017 in Düsseldorf.
Peter Droege opens 12th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference (IRES) and 7th Energy Storage Europe (ESE) in Düsseldorf, Germany.
