The industry sector will face major challenges as a result of EU measures to stave off the climate crisis. How can sustainable finance be developed to help meet the goals of the European Green Deal and at the same time ensure that European industry remains competitive? An EESC webinar on 18 October will discuss this thorny issue.

Sustainable finance should support the delivery of the objectives of the European Green Deal by channelling private investment into companies and projects that support the transition to a climate-neutral, climate-resilient, resource-efficient and just economy - a challenge to be faced jointly by the financial sector, businesses, regulatory authorities and citizens.

In the webinar entitled Channelling financial resources into investments that comply with environmental, social and governance criteria, panellists and external stakeholders participating via videoconference will discuss how best to achieve these synergies and develop such sustainable finance.

The webinar is the third in a series of events on a new EU industrial strategy, which the EESC has been organising to help shape EU industrial policy for the future in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. The series will end with a major conference in March 2022 where the EESC will debate its findings with the French presidency of the EU and the European Commission.
