The group focuses on both current EU initiatives and longer-term policy needs, preparing CLC positions on key climate, energy, industrial, and finance policies while also ideating proposals for future policy development. Each meeting features a guest speaker, followed by a discussion on current policy developments such as the Clean Industrial Deal and the ETS Review, and concludes with an overview of CLC’s upcoming proposals.
