The President of the Institute of Reforms participated in the Think2030 Dialogue Sweden which gathered decision-makers and analysts from policy, business and research across Europe to debate the key sustainability issues at stake for EU policy.
This Think2030 Dialogue takes place in the framework of the activities of the Think2030 platform, created by the Institute for European Environmental Policy in 2018 to provide science-policy solutions for a more sustainable Europe. This event is a follow-up to the latest Think2030 biannual conference that took place in Paris in 2022.
The event was held in Stockholm on 20 April, in direct connection with the informal meeting of EU environment ministers. The overarching theme of the 2023 Think2030 Dialogue was the role of the EU in securing future sustainability and resilience within Europe and abroad. The Think2030 Dialogue included high-level policy debates and science and policy sessions focusing on four key thematic issues. This provided a unique opportunity to gather high-level representatives from EU member states to reflect on the outcome of the informal ministerial meeting and focus on the EU’s sustainability goals achieving the common vision described in the European Green Deal. The sessions addressed sustainability issues against the backdrop of broader issues facing the EU, including security and geopolitics, innovation and competitiveness, and social inclusion in the transition. It focused on emerging priorities and work of the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU, but also the next Trio Presidency, beginning with Spain as the next Presidency.
