On November 16-17 in 2023, we organized the 'Policy and Values' Conference in Warsaw, during which we gathered all the key issues that our Association addresses. We subjected these issues to various aspects of panel discussions.

Recent German political shifts and the upcoming EU Parliament elections raise concerns of an anti-climate backlash driven by citizens' fears of declining living standards, posing a threat to EU cohesion and competitiveness.
Both EU allies and rivals heavily invest in green technologies. Faced with the Inflation Reduction Act, Europe must create a robust industrial strategy to retain talent and investments for the green transition. The alternative is further loosening public aid rules, favoring financially stronger countries, weakening the common market, and deepening structural imbalances between European regions.
A genuine European Green Industrial Strategy, backed by new EU resources, can mitigate the backlash by creating jobs funded by EU funds and enhancing EU competitiveness against the green strategies of the US, China, and other rising powers. 🌱💼
How to achieve this and what changes are needed in the EU's institutional infrastructure for the political representation of lower-income citizens and communities in making the green transition genuinely popular? 🤔🏡
