During the 4 sessions, participants discussed the following issues: implementation of the European Green Deal and challenges related to decarbonization; prospects for environmental modernization, the possibility of a circular economy and waste management, as well as strategies for sustainable development of the state and business. Green transformation is inevitable, but it should not contradict the development of business in Ukraine - said the participants of the event. The country should also be more pragmatic in defending its position on the European Green Deal. In addition, during the event, there was a presentation of a green book on reforming environmental policy and legislation to ensure sustainable development. It is worth noting that the European Business Association, member companies of the Committee on Industrial Environment and Sustainable Development are actively involved in the public debate on reforming environmental legislation to help achieve the goals of sustainable development. So, we hope that soon we will be able to build quality environmental legislation.
