Climate

Wednesday, 2 October 2019 (15.00-17.00 followed by a reception)
Venue: The Office | Rue d’Arlon 80, 1040 Bruxelles

Registration is closed.

European businesses stand behind the EU ambition of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (climate neutrality) to reach the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This will require deep Member State cooperation, large investments in technologies and low-carbon infrastructure, changes in consumer behaviour and similar ambitions by countries around the world. The Finnish Presidency of the Council of the EU and BusinessEurope invite you to join the discussion on how governments, businesses and the civil society can work together to reach these common goals.
