Do you Believe in Climate Neutrality by 2040? Levers and Cornerstones of the Transformation

The European Week of Regions and Cities is an annual four-day event during which cities and regions showcase their capacity to create growth and jobs, implement European Union cohesion policy, and prove the importance of the local and regional level for good European governance.

The 2023 Week takes between 9-12 October 2023 and is held in-person in Brussels. More on the #EURegionsWeek can be found here.

As in previous years, the learned societies (European Regional Science Association ERSA, Association of European Schools of Planning AESOP and the Regional Studies Association European Foundation RSA Europe) led by RSA Europe collate and develop sessions that showcase the best of new research to the largely policy audience at the #EURegionsWeek.

Our third session of the day takes place 10th October 2023, 14.30 CEST

Do you Believe in Climate Neutrality by 2040? Levers and Cornerstones of the Transformation – Tuesday 10th October, 14.30-15.30 CEST

The presentations cover various strategies, policy instruments and key points of the transformation towards climate neutrality. Different regional characteristics, starting points and aspects are combined by the presented input and followed by the interactive exchange on the challenges, solutions and ideas for the energy turn. A moderator-led series of questions (partly coming from the participants on site) is answered by the participants simultaneously via online tools and commented by speakers.
