“Adapting to climate change, protecting nature, and competitiveness are not contradictory; they are two sides of the same coin.” This was stated by European Commissioner for the Environment Jessika Roswall during a press briefing on water resilience and a competitive circular economy in Dublin. Roswall emphasized that investing in territorial resilience and nature conservation is essential to addressing the effects of the climate crisis, noting further that the simplification of European regulations and the ETS system are key tools for supporting the European Union’s decarbonization, innovation, and competitiveness.
