Join us for an event on EU climate policies featuring keynote speaker Prof. Sebastian Oberthür.
About this Event

Over the past decade, the European Union has established itself as a global leader in climate policy, most notably through the European Green Deal. As the focus shifts from agenda-setting to delivery, the central challenge is no longer ambition alone, but governance, implementation, and policy coherence in an increasingly complex economic and geopolitical environment.
This event will examine whether the EU’s current climate policy framework is equipped to deliver effective, credible, and socially accepted climate action. How robust are existing governance arrangements? How do climate objectives interact with industrial competitiveness, financial decision-making, and business engagement? And what adjustments may be needed to ensure that EU climate policies remain both ambitious and workable in practice?
Join us for this event featuring keynote speaker Sebastian Oberthür (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), followed by a high-level panel discussion with Thibaud Voita (EM Lyon), Meryem Bezzaz (Sciences Po), and Malo Bourel (Mouvement Impact France).
The discussion will be moderated by Marc Ringel (European Chair for Sustainable Development and Climate Transition, Sciences Po).
