The 'From a European to a Global Green Deal' high-level conference of political, industrial and academic leaders aims to open a constructive exchange of views among leading experts on cooperation opportunities in science and technology among the EU, Japan and the rest of the world, which supports the leveraging of the 'European Green Deal' to achieve a 'Global Green Deal'.

This event has been organised jointly by the Science and Technology in Society forum (STS forum) and the European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA). The STS forum was established in 2003 as an international network for dialogue on challenges and opportunities related to the application of science and technology and resolving problems related to it.
