Grateful for the opportunity to deliver a key-note speech in the opening of Business Review’s Environmental Sustainability Summit!

The European Green Deal is Europe’s growth agenda, connecting closely the twin – clean and digital – transitions.

How does this look in numbers?
– a reduction of around 31% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990
– EU GDP growth by 67% over the same period

The key- takeaway is that the Green Deal offers huge development opportunities, for which we are providing for the regulatory and investment framework at EU level.

EU funding is available for action under all these strands also in Romania!

This includes:

– the RRP funds allocation of about 12 billion EUR to flow into green transition projects up to 2026
– 1.4 billion EUR under REPowerEU
– significant other funds under Cohesion Policy, the Just Transition or the Modernization Fund.

Thank you, Luiza Luca and Business Review for the invitation and for organizing this insightful event!
