The EU’s Green Industrial Policy at Crossroads: Navigating Competitiveness, Decarbonization, and Polarization
Speaker:
Hildegard Bentele, Member of the European Parliament, Group of the European People’s Party
Michael Bloss, Member of the European Parliament, Group of the Greens/EFA
Tanja Gönner, Managing Director, Federation of German Industries (BDI)
Samantha Gross, Director – Energy Security and Climate Initiative and Fellow – Foreign Policy, Brookings Institution
As the European Union navigates the complex landscape of transitioning to a net-zero economy, the development of a green industrial policy that supports both climate and sustainability goals – as well as economic resilience – is crucial. The EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan aims to further strengthen and accelerate the sustainable transformation but faces its own challenges.
Because seating is limited, we ask for your understanding that spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
