How green are the national recovery plans? – 23 March – Webinar

Published by Alessia Biasioli at 31 January 2021

EU governments are about to submit their National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) to unlock the biggest green investment plan ever seen.

In this workshop, we will cross-analyse 10 NRRPs within their National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) in three key sectors to deliver on the EU Green Deal: transport, building and agriculture. It will also be discussed whether fiscal measures, such as carbon taxes, are being considered by governments to contribute to environmental ambition.

Tuesday, 23 March, 10:00 – 13:00
