For who?
We are all responsible for contributing to greening EU international partnerships. This means also: to encourage all sectors to align as much as possible with the European Green Deal. The webinar is therefore open to all EU staff working in delegations and at headquarters. It is particularly aimed at those not working in the fields of environment and climate change.
