The Alentejo Regional Green Deal has been developed to guarantee that the region is directly involved in the implementation of the many initiatives under the EU Green Deal by means of a clear local strategy. The strategy, based on the main SP3 pillars, is founded on the use of R&I to kick-start the environmental, social and economic transformations required for a green transition. The event is open for debate with all EU regions which have embedded the Green Deal objectives into their regional strategy.
