Monday 12 October 2026 | 10:30am – 12:00pm | Venue TBC

Open, apply to attend

Co-organised by the European Commission, Brussels Climate Week and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), this interactive session builds on the COP29 Declaration on Green Digital Action — endorsed by 82 countries and almost 1,800 non-state actors — and the launch of the GDA Hub at COP30.

The session brings together climate policy, COP Presidency continuity and industry perspectives to identify new implementation pathways for the Declaration, connecting the Green Digital Action multi-stakeholder platform with regional innovation ecosystems such as the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) Network.
