This event, co-organised by the Institute for European Environmental Policy – IEEP and IDDRI think tank, will explore long-term transformations and immediate actions required to achieve carbon neutrality, consistent with the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement and socioeconomic objectives.

Date: 3 July 2025 
Time: 9:45 – 11:30 am
Location: Mundo Madou, Avenue des Arts 7/8, Bruxelles (Belgium)

The insights presented during the session emerge from a detailed analysis of national pathways to net zero in 9 large emitting countries conducted by in-country experts in the Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative.

After a short overview of cross-country insights, national experts from six countries (Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa and the United States) will provide a snapshot of their country-driven analysis, including concrete and tangible examples of key transformations and actions. Reactions from the EU perspective will be provided and an open Q&A will allow participants to discuss directly with panellists.

The event is open to all interested policy and industry stakeholders but registration is required. Given the limited number of seats available, the registration will be on first-come first-served basis.
