Leveraging Global Environmental Cooperation to Boost Competitiveness and Resilience

Image

In an era marked by unprecedented geopolitical challenges and multiple crises, the need for robust multilateral cooperation has never been more critical. Global cooperation on environment, with collective achievements built over decades, represents a crucial value which we must collectively continue to safeguard and elevate. 

The European Union, its institutions and Member States have been constant supporters of environmental multilateralism, and firm contributors to advancing global ambition on environment. As we look to advance global standards and increase ambition and implementation of global commitments by various players across the world, including in the EU, it is important to reflect on the current acquis and how they speak to our industries, our ecosystem services or our territories.

This event, organized by the United Nations Environment Programme, and hosted by Mr. Antonio Decaro, chair of the Environment Committee of the European Parliament, aims to take a snapshot of major global achievements, from pollution and health to nature and climate, and discuss their value for the resilience and competitiveness of socio-economic systems, across sectors and communities. The various panels will delve into the importance of enhancing the links between socio-economic reforms and environment-related solutions. 

This gathering will be an opportunity to reflect on environmental multilateralism as an investment into EU and global competitiveness.
