The convocation of the European SDG Summit 2022: Together for an Inclusive Green Deal – due to be held on October 10-12 – will be vital ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) which Egypt will host in November.

The summit will convene sustainability leaders worldwide.

Europe, in line with its welfare state experience, is taking the lead to leave no one behind in this transformation with the Green Deal, REPowerEU, the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, the Just Transition Mechanism, and the NextGenerationEU Program.

Nevertheless, the scale and magnitude of the effort ahead require not only individual commitments to net-zero but also collaborative actions from all stakeholders.

After the pandemic and amid the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, the world needs to accelerate the journey towards climate neutrality and the adoption of an inclusive approach to the green and digital transition.
