We are recycling household waste and are gradually switching to tap water. But did you know that the financial sector also has an important role to play in the transition to a greener economy and cleaner energy? The European Commission is planning a series of interventions to get the financial system on a more sustainable path. Come to VLEVA on Tuesday 3 July 2018 and get a clarifying look at sustainable finance by Julian McLachlan, Policy Officer for Green Finance and Green Investment at DG Environment of the European Commission.
The Minaraad and the Liaison agency Flanders-Europe (VLEVA) are pleased to welcome you to their six-monthly inspiring information session. As always, an overview will be given of the current EU dossiers in the field of energy, climate and environment.
