VCI and IW Digital Dialogue Series: The External Perspective on the Green Deal

Jointly with the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), we - the German Economic Institute (Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft, IW) - are pleased to invite you to the second VCI and IW Webinar „Making the Green Deal work for European Industry”.

Together with 3 high-level speakers we would like to discuss with you: „The external perspective on the Green Deal: Standard-setter or fortress Europe?”

Given the lack of climate ambition at the global level, the EU decided to act solo with the European Green Deal. The soft power Europe wants to lead by example with the view of becoming a global leader in transformative low-carbon technologies, while establishing new business standards. Thus, many key partners are assessing the possible impact of the Green Deal on their political and economic relations with the EU.
