On 7 and 8 July, the EESC Permanent Group on Energy carried out a field visit to Vienna, organised in cooperation with the City of Vienna and Wien Stadtwerke, Vienna's public utilities company. The visit explored how Vienna, one of Europe's largest cities, is implementing its strategy to phase out fossil fuels in heating and decarbonise its energy supply by 2040, achieving a climate-neutral energy system.
Regulators and civil society stakeholders will discuss on how could look like a future EU-wide layer of pooled/solidarity funds to such insurance schemes that increases protection of EU citizens and businesses.
The takeaways will feed the discussions on our opinion ‘Towards a European system of natural disaster risk management for the EU insurance sector’.
