Green Transition Denmark invites you to a current European conference to take the pulse of the EU's green transition before the Danish EU presidency in the autumn.

Europe is in the midst of a geopolitical storm, where the United States under President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the transatlantic alliance and has left the UN climate agreement. Several are pushing to lower the green ambitions in the EU's Green Deal here in 2025, but what is the balance of power? The EU must set new climate goals towards 2040 and at the same time defend its competitiveness in relation to increasing global competition. What are the priorities?

Time: Tuesday the May 20, 2025 – 13.00:15.15 PM – XNUMX:XNUMX PM

Place: The hall in the Kulturhuset Indre By, Charlotte Ammundsens Plads 3, 1359 Copenhagen
