Mrs. Marija Pujo Tadić, president of the International Institute for Climate Action, served as a moderator at the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development’s conference on the Future of Europe, which brought together the business sector, and the panelists and participants were: Mrs. Jasminka Rojko, Raiffeisenbank d.d.; Mrs. Snježana Bahtijari, Ericsson Nikola Tesla d.d.; Mrs. Ana Špehar, Agroproteinka d.d.; Mrs. Deana Stipanović, Valamar Riviera d.d. and Mr. Goran Romac, Končar Elektroindustrija d.d.

The purpose of this conference is to establish a dialogue in society about the challenges and opportunities for a fair and efficient transition of Croatia towards climate neutrality.

This event is part of the Conference on the Future of Europe, which was initiated by the European Commission, the Council, and the Parliament to hear EU citizens’ perspectives on Europe’s challenges and priorities.

Croatia supported the European climate regulation, which sets a common goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 and achieving climate neutrality by at least 2050. Scenarios for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Croatia are described in the Republic of Croatia’s Low Carbon Development Strategy until 2030 with a view to 2050, which, along with new legislation, will direct Croatia’s development toward a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

At the final conference, which will be held on October 27, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the conclusions and recommendations of the eight Panels that were previously held for the target groups will be presented: the business sector, decision makers at the local and regional level, scientists, media, education sector, trade unions, civil society organizations and youth.
