Study Day
COMPETITION UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES

Thursday, 27 November 2025

Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS, GREDEG

This study day examines how competition policy can address environmental challenges. As the green transition reshapes industrial strategies and market regulation, the discussions will explore possible connections between economic performance objectives and environmental policy goals.
The event will bring together experts to present recent insights on competition law and economics in the context of climate and energy transitions.
