NEW IMPRESSIONS AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS
The European Union is a leader in the transition to a more ecologically sustainable economy, while the Baltic Sea region is a leader in the implementation of a macro-regional strategy. In order to achieve our common sustainable development goals, it is necessary to strengthen and develop cooperation between partners in the region.
The conference will bring together decision-makers, public development banks, development financing institutions, as well as non-governmental organizations and stakeholders to discuss the main challenges and share experience in the implementation of large development projects, taking into account the challenge for Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050.
