CEET – FAW/n

Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. h.c. Radermacher answers this and other questions in a new video by the Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition (CEET).

He also responds to questions about the special expertise he brings to the CEET and why engineers, in particular, are so important in addressing climate change. You can watch the full interview on the CEET’s LinkedIn page.

Finally, Prof. Radermacher is asked for advice for current and future engineers working to advance the energy transition: “Keep all dimensions of the problem in view, and think unconventionally. Have good ideas and the courage to put them into practice. Try to develop something the world has never seen before. […] Perhaps, as a young person, you can make a real difference for the world.”

In recognition of our work on global initiatives, Prof. F. J. Radermacher was appointed on June 1, 2022, to the UN Council of Engineers on the Energy Transition (CEET). The CEET is a highly qualified, globally oriented body of engineers and energy experts that supports the Secretary-General of the United Nations in building a coalition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The council also seeks technical pathways to establish a climate-neutral energy system by the middle of the century

Professor Radermacher is now one of the 32 current members of this newly appointed council. The members represent all continents and bring diverse professional backgrounds. In the coming months, additional members will join until the council reaches a total of 50 members.
