The Policy Advisory Council (PAC) meetings provide a bi-annual opportunity for the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) to discuss relevant topics with its Star and Major Donors, as well as invited academics, regulators and policy-makers, and to receive their feedback.

This PAC meeting will focus on two key aspects of EU energy and climate policy and regulatory framework:

• The regulatory treatment of anticipatory investments; and
• The 2040 energy and climate targets and their governance framework. In December 2025, the European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement on a legally binding 2040 climate target, setting a goal to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% compared to 1990 levels. This agreement would amend the European Climate Law, establishing a crucial, science-based intermediate step toward the EU’s objective of climate neutrality by 2050.

The PAC meetings are run under Chatham House rules.

Please note that this event is by invitation only and exclusively reserved for star and major donors of the Florence School of Regulation.
