Alinnea, the IE Climate Think&Action Tank and the IE Competitiveness Hub Brussels organize this high-level dialogue.

The event will bring together public leaders, financial institutions and corporate actors to explore how Europe can sustain its climate ambition while strengthening competitiveness, by better aligning energy strategy, macroeconomic policy and capital mobilisation. It will also examine how collective leadership can turn commitments into implementation in a context of global uncertainty.
