Climate Leadership in a Changing Global Landscape

As the United States recalibrates its global climate commitments, Europe faces a pivotal moment: step up as the world’s climate leader or risk losing momentum in the green transition. With rising geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory shifts, and industrial competition, how should European stakeholders—governments, businesses, and civil society—position themselves moving forward?

This panel will explore Europe’s role in driving global climate ambition, from reinforcing regulatory frameworks like the Green Deal to securing strategic partnerships and technological leadership. What policies and investments are needed to safeguard Europe's economic and environmental future? How can Europe balance competitiveness with sustainability while maintaining energy security? And what role should Trans-Atlantic and Global South collaborations play in this new reality?

Join leading policymakers, industry experts, and climate strategists as we chart a course for Europe's climate resilience and leadership in an era of shifting global priorities.
