FSR climate annual conference 2020

FSR Climate is pleased to announce its 6^th FSR Climate Annual Conference to take place online on 26-27 November 2020. The conference will cover the main climate-related existing policies, at EU, national and sub-national levels and will include sessions on Energy efficiency, Renewable policies, Environmental taxation, and Emissions trading.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the FSR Climate Annual Conference will be held online.
