This conference of the European Parliament Intergroup on "Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development" will introduce and discuss the Intergroup’s 2024-2029 policy priorities and work program for the new legislative term. It will provide a valuable platform to identify urgent environmental issues and discuss key areas of focus, including sustainable food systems, sustainable forest management, water resilience, circular economy and bioeconomy, clean energy and transport, and ocean governance.
This event is an excellent opportunity for stakeholders across sectors, from institutions but also civil society, to contribute to the Intergroup's ongoing work, foster collaborations, promote partnerships and the role of science and innovation in addressing environmental challenges.
