Following the Think2030 Dialogue Sweden in April, four post-event briefings gathering the discussions and debates between decision-makers and analysts from policy, business and research across Europe have been produced.
This Think2030 Dialogue took place in the framework of the activities of the Think2030 platform, created by the Institute for European Environmental Policy in 2018 to provide science-policy solutions for a more sustainable Europe. This event was a follow-up to the latest Think2030 biannual conference that took place in Paris in 2022. Think2030 Dialogue Sweden was co-organised by IEEP and SEI – Stockholm Environment Institute, with Mistra – the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environment Research, FORMAS and Sieps – Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies, and in association with the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The Think2030 national dialogues are a unique opportunity to gather high-level representatives from EU member states to reflect on the outcome of the informal ministerial meeting and focus on the EU’s sustainability goals achieving the common vision described in the European Green Deal.
The sessions addressed sustainability issues against the backdrop of broader issues facing the EU, including security and geopolitics, innovation and competitiveness, and social inclusion in the transition.
Four post-event briefings have produced around the following topics:
- Energy transition and the cost of living: The right balance between short-term fixes and long-term solutions to the energy crisis
- Climate security and trade in times of multiple crises
- Innovation and industry transition: Towards a green industrial strategy
- European Green Deal 2024 and beyond: Which vision and priorities for the EGD 2.0?
