09.00 Policy and Financing Session: A green recovery through the energy transition

Europe is aiming for a 55 % reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030 as a milestone on its way to climate neutrality by 2050. It is crucial that the investment decisions made in the next few years put us on the path of being "fit for 55" by the end of this decade. This session shows how we can make a green recovery happen in practice and how energy efficiency can contribute as an investment engine. We present the policies and financing solutions.
