The future of Energy in Europe will be discussed during the European Energy week in Brussels (Belgium) in June. ICLEI is a partner of Revolve media on two energy events happening at that time: The Energy Transition Leaders Forum 2017 and Visualising Energy.

The energy transformation is underway in many industries and sectors but there remains a gap between what we aspire to achieve and what we are doing. What are the challenges to accelerating the energy transition? What are the innovative technologies coming to market? Who are the energy transition leaders of our time? These are the core topics of Revolve's second Energy Transition Leaders Forum, which will take place in Brussels on 22 June as the "˜finale' of the EU Sustainable Energy Week.

Visualising Energy is a public information campaign that highlights the human dimension of the energy transition by showing workers in action on different renewable energy and energy efficiency projects around Europe and beyond. The aim is to raise awareness among citizens and policy-makers about the potential of green growth. Visualising Energy will be in Brussels throughout summer 2017. ICLEI will contribute to the exhibition with pictures from our Members that are paving the way to smarter, more resilient cities.

Kolding recently launched the "Sustainable City" initiative, which involves citizens, especially students, in the sustainable development of the city. The initiative is situated in a repurposed container, which acts as a space for city residents and representatives from the municipality to work on sustainable projects together.

Kolding has shown itself to be advanced in several fields of sustainable development, having been presented with the Green Procurement award 2015 by the Danish Forum for Sustainable Procurement, and winning an award for its energy system in 2011. In 2018 the city plans to open a biofuel heating plant to replace the use of fossil fuels.
