From the 6-9th of June there will be European Parliamentary elections. The outgoing European Parliament has approved some of the most ambitious climate policies in history. However, to achieve the Paris Climate Agreement goals, the freshly elected European Parliament must approve policies to further accelerate this transition. Drawing on state of the art research, this symposium will discuss how the EU can accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral economy. Together with eminent scientists and policymakers from both the Netherlands and abroad, we will reflect on what the incoming European Parliament will mean for the future of green policies. See below for the draft program. The program will include distinguished speakers from Ecologic (Germany), the Free University Brussels (Belgium), Wageningen University (Netherlands), CE Delft (Netherlands) and more.

The symposium will be an in-person event at the World Trade Center in The Hague (the Netherlands) on the 25th of June 2024 from 13:30 – 16:30 with drinks afterwards. The event cannot be attended online. The event is free, but registration is required. See below for a draft program. A more detailed program will follow.
