In order to drive a deep climate transformation of heavy industry, EU policies such as a reformed ETS remain key. However, complementary domestic interventions will be required as well, in order to push for a swift, targeted and fair transition.

Bond Beter Leefmilieu (BBL), WISE and Germanwatch invite you for a workshop which will zoom in on this interaction: – What are the main developments in national industrial policy in DE, NL and BE? – What are the benefits and pitfalls of interventions at the member state level? – How have domestic debates evolved, and what has been the role of CSO campaigns and advocacy? – What are the opportunities for cross-border cooperation? We will share best and worst practices, and exchange examples for advocacy work. This is a hybrid event, which can be followed both online and in Brussels.
