Policy Panel:
The Think2030 science and policy session on innovation and industry transition focused on EU policy and enterprises across the heavy industry value chain. The session posed questions such as: can the European Green Deal remain relevant beyond the current political cycle – and achieve necessary change? Is the EU doing enough to reach the Green Deal goal on decoupling economic growth from resources use? The session participants also discussed how to meet human needs in the most resource efficient way, the need for innovation at the system level, strengthening incentives for new business models to thrive, mobilizing finance, and increasing the efforts of implementing the goals of the EU green deal through targeted interventions.
The discussions resulted in the following recommendations:
