The conference will feature the work undertaken under the CECILIA2050 research project (a joint effort of 10 leading research institutions from eight countries). The scientists involved will be presenting insights from the first section of the project’s work, taking stock of EU climate policy, pointing to key challenges and starting to chart where it needs to develop towards.
