Climate action that works for you: an agenda for competitiveness, prosperity and resilience

Titled ‘Climate action that works for you: an agenda for competitiveness, prosperity and resilience’, this one-day event reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to ambitious climate goals while also providing an essential platform for dialogue between stakeholders and decision-makers. By showcasing success stories, the event stressed once again the economic and social benefits of climate action, including improved wellbeing, enhanced resilience, and long-term economic prosperity.
