The upcoming European elections (6-9 June) are an opportunity to take stock and to reflect on the prospects of the EU's climate and decarbonization strategy.
Badly abused by wars, geopolitical tensions but also political and societal resistance, did the EU Green Deal or Green Deal, a “package” of legislation that aims to reach zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050, make it possible to achieve the goals announced by Ursula von der Layen in 2019?
Will the results of the European elections allow the EU to accelerate the deployment of innovations and technologies for climate and decarbonization or risk calling into question the efforts of the EU, its member states and its companies in this field?
The event will allow you to:
- provide an overview of the impact of the Green Deal on the acceleration and deployment (or not) of innovations and technologies for climate and decarbonization (“climatech”)
- assess the possible results of the European elections and their consequences on the composition of the European Parliament and the appointment of the future European Commission
- present the risks and opportunities of these developments on the deployment of climate/decarbonization innovations and technologies
- show examples of companies that provide technological solutions in Europe (wind, solar, batteries, hydrogen, 4th generation nuclear power, AI)
- question the financing and methods of financing the deployment of climate and decarbonization technologies in order to reach the ambitious 2030 and 2040 targets and the net zero objective in 2050.
- consider solutions to prevent the risks of “stop & go” and their consequences on the deployment of technological solutions
