Satellite event: The Future of the European Green Deal: Challenges and Opportunities After the European Elections

Yet, the climate and biodiversity crises are not easing, and many worry that environmental issues will fall out of focus in the future legislative agenda.

To get an idea of what to expect, we invited experts from diverse backgrounds to answer our questions on the future of the European Green Deal:

• Sebastian Oberthür [Co-Director of the Research Centre for Environment, Economy and Energy; Professor for Environment and Sustainable Development at the Brussels School of Governance (BSoG)] for his expert knowledge of European and international governance, laws and policies on environmental and climate matters.
• Arvea Marieni [Partner & Board Member at Brainscapital; Shareholder & Lead of Ecological Transition Division at BEAM CUBE] for her experience serving as a European Commission expert on innovation and ecological transition matters.
• Flora Dicke [Researcher at the Ecologic Institute in Berlin] for her expertise on German and EU climate mitigation and adaption policy. Building upon her involvement in the EU-funded project "Transformative Policies for a Climate-Neutral EU (4I-TRACTION)", she will share recommendations on the design of transformative EU climate policies.
• Andrea Casamenti [Policy Coordinator at SOLIDAR] for his involvement in EU fair and just transition policies and expert views on the social aspects of the environmental transition.
• Stephanny Ulivieri [Project Leader for Sustainaware at Youth and Environment Europe (YEE)] for her wide experience as a youth intersectional climate activist.
