EU-ASE president Monica Frassoni participated in a high level discussion on climate neutrality in Italy and how to finance it organised by Italy For Climate in the framework of the annual conference Stati Generali della Green Economy 2020.
In her intervention, Monica Frassoni discussed the importance of energy effiency as a key tool to achieve climate neutrality both at European and national level, as well as how to make the best out of the EU Recovery fund resources for Italy’s Recovery and Resiliency Plan.
Speakers included representatives of the Italian government and leading energy stakeholders.
In a fast-changing political and economic environment, 2025 was a year of continued efforts to strengthen security, stability, and competitiveness for European businesses.
Throughout the year, our work demonstrated that energy efficiency is not only essential to achieving climate goals, but also a key driver of innovation, energy independence and sustainable long-term growth across Europe.
Strong engagement with policymakers, combined with the successful organisation of the 4th European Energy Efficiency Day, highlighted the importance of collaboration and dialogue in advancing shared objectives. Partnerships across sectors and institutions remained central to delivering impact and shaping effective energy policies.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will intensify our efforts to secure the regulatory certainty that can accelerate the energy transition, while providing businesses with the investment confidence they need and strengthening Europe’s competitiveness.
