Agnes Szalkai-Lorincz from Friends of the Earth Hungary joins Everything Is Changing about the rise of solar energy and the early development of energy communities in the country. We explore why trust, cooperation, and citizen-led innovation are essential for a fair energy transition, how cultural barriers shape community projects, and what policy changes are needed to build a more inclusive, climate-just future.
