The EU's Bioeconomy Strategy is set to be adopted by the end of this year. It aims to boost innovation and support European companies in making a success of the green transition.
The forest-based bioeconomy is one of Europe's strongest industrial ecosystems. As a sector sourcing 85% of its raw materials from within the EU, it offers renewable and circular solutions for packaging, hygiene, construction, energy and more. With demonstrated leadership in innovation, decarbonisation and material circularity, the sector’s contribution to the green transition is both proven and scalable. From biochemicals and textiles to bioenergy and advanced paper solutions, the forest-based bioeconomy plays a critical role in delivering an industrial model that meets the EU’s climate and competitiveness’ objectives.
This event of the MEP Group on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development comes at a pivotal moment when the bioeconomy can play a key role by becoming a cornerstone of the EU’s green growth strategy. It will inform policy discussions taking place within several key European Parliament committees and underline the multiple benefits of the bioeconomy for sustainability.
This event will be in English and take place at 16:00-18:00 CET on 9 December. It will be in person only at the European Parliament in Brussels. Registrations are closed, but since this is a public event organised at the European Parliament, interested people with an EP badge (EU staff, accredited journalists, lobbyists) can join directly in the room.
