Event report

The Ministry of Justice and the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry held a webinar about the importance of green transition and climate politics on 7 July 2021. In the webinar, there were two excellent presenters, who gave us a great view about the current legislative processes in Europe including the Hungarian perspectives. During the consultation we learnt that there are many good initiatives regarding climate policy and green transition, but many of them are not feasible without putting too much burden on SMEs, entrepreneurs and families especially in smaller members states such as Hungary. Future green policies should guarantee fair conditions and competition on the market for all stakeholders and provide sufficient time to complete the necessary transition. Therefore we believe it is important to involve economic actors, organizations, national and foreign chambers of commerce in the legislative processes and in the work for sustainable development that does not lead to extreme costs paid by smaller economies, families and the most vulnerable part of the society.
