THE CAMPAIGN

2007 marked a turning point for energy policy in Europe. In March, European leaders provided a powerful response to the looming climate and energy crisis, and to the call from European citizens for more renewable energy, by unanimously agreeing on a 20% binding target on renewable energies by 2020. Thanks to the European Council’s decision, and provided it is followed by effective implementation in the near future, Europe now has a real opportunity to change its energy supply structure towards a much larger share of indigenous, renewable resources. Thus, it can reduce import dependence and exposure to unpredictable fuel prices.

By participating in one of the numerous events organised for the European Wind Day across Europe on 15 June, you can join EWEA in asking for a legal framework that allows wind energy to be developed on a large-scale. Moreover, you can have fun with your friends and family in the meantime.

The European Wind Day is also a good opportunity to learn more about wind energy, how it is one of the leading solutions for the energy and climate crisis, how wind turbines work, and what the common misconceptions about this source of energy are.

EWEA, its partners, and all the Wind Day organisers are very much looking forward to seeing you and your friends at one of the events in Europe.
