Within the framework of the EBSOMED project, BUSINESSMED is organising an online meeting of its Employers' Thematic Committee "The Green Deal" on 22 September 2022.

The Committee on the Green Deal is born in continuity with the efforts of the first phase of the Thematic Committee on Education and R&D on Energy Technology. As well as in coordination with the priorities set by regional and international Actors.

BUSINESSMED and its members, not only through its commitment to the UN Global Compact, have set themselves ahead of the curve by establishing the creation of a Thematic Committee focusing on the Green Deal. The Committee will be a chance for Employers Federation to best understand the impacts of these green strategies and policies and their implication for the Mediterranean economy. The work of the committee will focus on two major topics, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and the Green Hydrogen and their implication for sustainability and within the VET sector.

The meeting aims to:

• Discuss the implication of the Green Deal for external trading partners of the EU
• Share information, experiences and facilitate peer learning in the Euro-Mediterranean Region
