EU Hybrid Side Event at COP26 – Climate Neutrality and Biodiversity: renewables assets, reporting standards and sustainable finance
The transition to net zero emissions by 2050 could hinder environmental and biodiversity conservation. EAERE promotes the research-policy interface by examining this issue from an energy, marine and land-use standpoint. This provides the science-based framework to analyse the key role that renewable assets, reporting standards and sustainable finance can play to drive a sustainable transition.
