An interactive exhibition highlighting the challenges and potentials of the global energy transition and its impact on society and politics began at Bait al Zubair on January 16. It will come to an end on February 2.
The exhibition titled 'Energy in Transition -- Powering Tomorrow' showcases the transition of energy from fossil to renewable.
The exhibition takes visitors through a powerful multimedia experience created with animated and interactive infographics, typographic overlays, and graphically enhanced maps.
Many clickable diagrams, film sequences, decision trees, and a continuous change of perspective help the audience have small interactions on multi-touch monitors.
Energy economy and global scientific perspectives are highlighted in a decentralised way, among other things, through international project examples and interview partners.
The organisers claimed that the travelling exhibition is suitable for all generations, providing an introduction to the energy transition and its challenges. Furthermore, to accompany the exhibition, a panel discussion entitled "Energy transition in the mobility sector" will be held on January 29.
"Transforming our energy supply to protect the climate and conserve resources is one of the most significant challenges the global community is facing, and close international cooperation is essential to its success," said a statement from the office of Thomas F Schneider, German Ambassador to the Sultanate of Oman.
"The global energy transition has thus become an important field of action for foreign policy and diplomacy, which is highly dependent on informed political and social dialogue. Germany plays a pioneering role in the global energy transition as well as in its foreign policy communication."
The term 'Energiewende', coining with 'Energy in Transition - Powering Tomorrow', exhibits one of the key challenges of the transition and requires global attention.
He further said that limiting the global temperature increase to well below 2°C – if to 1.5°C: is the international community's objective. Governments, civil society, researchers and the private sector all around the world are working together to achieve it.
This will require a significant reduction in emissions from agriculture, industry, transport and many other sectors between now and 2050. How can we make our energy supply secure, accessible, emission-free and sustainable? The answer: through a global energy transition.
