The Climate Change Summit 2022 provided an opportunity for specialists from various fields and organisations to understand the future transformations and develop sustainable technological, political and entrepreneurial solutions for the fastest possible transition to the green economy.
“We support public policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change in order to improve the quality of the environment, as environmental protection is a priority for us. Thus, Climate Change Summit 2022 was an opportunity to debate and explore solutions to limit climate change and promote the circular economy, sustainable energy production systems and resilience of cities in the context of increasingly accelerated climate change,” says Vlad Sandu, Deputy Director General of Geostud.
