Despite all fears, that the pandemic might negatively affect global «green» trend, we clearly see that the transition to a low-carbon economy even accelerated in 2020. EU, USA, China, as well as many international energy majors, have announced carbon net-zero plans.
The governments tie progress on environmental priorities to financial support for troubled sectors. The current shift and emphasis on innovation and sustainability highlighted the worldwide need for cleaner sources of energy, stimulating the transition towards renewables and cycle economy on a global scale.
However, the accelerating trends towards the adoption of more sustainable economy, the transition to «green» technologies are still facing serious challenges for further improvement. With the younger generation being closely engaged in the topic of the «green» future, the purpose of this round table is to discuss: how is the «green» transition evolving in our lives? What new trends are appearing on the global arena?
