This summer, the European Commission launched a series of policy initiatives to contribute to the achievement of a net emission reduction of 55% by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050.
This pathway towards climate neutrality will include a transition that is as necessary as it is complex. Therefore, this transition requires informed decision-making, supported by the best available scientific knowledge.
It is in this context that the EEAC Network and IEEP will organize a webinar during which several experts will:
- reflect on the role of (scientific) advice in policymaking,
- discuss how the role of science can be optimally organised and utilised in the context of European climate policymaking, with special attention paid to the role of the future European Climate Change Advisory Board, and
- answer to questions from the audience.
