Despite some of the challenges in the EU-China relationship , the EU and China have a shared interest in working together to combat climate change. Boosting green innovation and implementing a win-win approach could result in immense opportunities for European and Chinese companies operating in both markets!
That is why the BCECC together with European public affairs consultancy FIPRA invite you to their event “How can the EU and China work together to address the climate challenge?” on Monday October 9, 2023 at 16:00 CET (registration starts at 15:30).
During the meeting, we want to explore potential cooperation opportunities and how to address potential obstacles, especially looking forward on what to expect from the next UN Climate conference COP28 in Doha. The topic will be introduced by Ms. Edery, Head of Unit Bilateral Relations at DG CLIMA in the European Commission in a keynote address to be followed by a panel discussion with some high-level experts.
