In spring 2016, PEDAL Consulting has been awarded a Horizon2020 grant to implement the T2gE project. The main objective of the project was to contribute to a transition towards a green economy in Europe. Mainly through the organization of the international conference “Transition to a green Economy” (T2gE).

This international conference was an event of major strategic nature during the Slovak Presidency of the European Council. It brought together a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Its ambition was to:

• improve understanding of the green economy concept,
• identify conclusions and pathways for transition
• involve and mobilise various actors and stakeholders in the discussions of possible future actions.

The conference also aimed at strengthening the synergy among various recent initiatives and programmes launched by the European Commission. Namely, i.e. 7EAP, Circular economy package, Energy Union, Juncker Commission’s priorities etc. and by the Member States, to the benefit of the overall coherence.
