About this summit
An established gathering for key politicians, scientists, campaigners, and business executives, POLITICO Sustainable Future Summit takes a look at the scrutiny and dissent surge underscoring the critical juncture facing the EU’s trajectory towards a greener and more competitive future.
Our in-house journalists will delve into climate policy on the backdrop of elections, farmers’ protests and the UN Climate Change Conference, mobility, the Draghi report, the investments needed for cleaner and more competitive technologies, energy, and much more.
