Southeast Europe faces rising energy, climate, and geopolitical pressures.
Trade-offs are becoming a reality.

The Hellenic Association for Energy Economics and the Youth Climate Diplomacy Forum co-organize the debate:

“The Pragmatism Paradox: Can Southeast Europe afford to go green before it goes secure?”

Watch the dispute unfold at the 11th HAEE Energy Transition Symposium on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, from 16:45–17:45.

What should Southeast Europe’s top energy priority be for 2025–2030?

• Energy Security
• Affordable Energy Prices – Lower Energy Costs
• Decarbonization – Renewable Expansion – Climate Neutrality
• National Security

Cast your vote and see how your view compares during the debate.
