Panel II: “Our Europe: Respect for the planet”

The Panel will discuss the current energy and environmental challenges and opportunities in the EU. Ensuring energy security, energy affordability and energy efficiency are main aims of our political family. At the same time the urgency to fast track the green transition with a strong social dimension is pressing. The panel seeks to discuss how we can overcome the energy crisis and pursue the goals set out in the Green Deal at the same time.
