18 June 2013 – The Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group (CLG) and Confederation of British Industry hosted a high-level conference on 'Making the business case for a 2030 energy and climate change policy framework' in Brussels.
The conference was attended by representatives from the European Commission, MEPs, EU permanent representations and business leaders. Rt Hon Edward Davey MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, closed the event with a strong call for a European 2030 Framework for Energy and Climate Change that is ambitious yet gives Member States flexibility in terms of mechanisms for implementation.The event was followed by a lunch with CLG leaders (CCE, Shell, Alstom, Kingfisher, Unilever & Acciona) and the Secretary of State to discuss his green growth strategy and ways in which the CLG can work with him and a group of Green Growth Ministers who are determined to work together to raise the EU’s ambition on energy and climate change policy as a pro-growth strategy.
