Advisors’ meeting 11.8.2025

With the support of the advisory group, we aim to

  • bring together the perspectives of different sectors, right-holders, and stakeholders so that the challenges of the acceptance of the green transition can be resolved fairly,
  • take into account the concrete challenges and opportunities in different regions and industries, and
  • scale up the practices based on joint problem-solving by the parties involved, and embed them in national practices.
