2020-04-08 | All chapters

On 8th April, European Chamber invites Mr. Sebastien Paquot, head of section, counsellor for Climate Action and Environment and Mr. Frank Schmiedel, first counsellor, internal market, industry, entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), EU Delegation to China, to a webinar to introduce Green Deal, New Industrial Strategy and Circular Economy policies.

European Green Deal resets the Commission’s commitment to tackling climate and environmental-related challenges that is this generation’s defining task. The atmosphere is warming and the climate is changing with each passing year. One million of the eight million species on the planet are at risk of being lost. Forests and oceans are being polluted and destroyed. The European Green Deal is a response to these challenges. It is a new growth strategy that aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and where economic growth is decoupled from resource use.
