Public support and understanding among Slovenians for the European Green Recovery
Join us in a public roundtable to discuss the EU Recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the the Slovenian National Recovery Plan.
About the Event:
The event will consist of a 2-hour long roundtable debate (1,5-hour debate and 30 min Q&A session)
Our expected outcome is to launch a public debate on the challenges and opportunities of the EU Recovery with a specific focus on Slovenian contribution to the plan. The debate is targeted at the general public in Slovenia, in particular, NGOs, environmental and political activists and local representatives.
Context
As part of the EU’s recovery and resilience facility for COVID-19, Slovenia is due to receive 1.8 million euros in grants and over 700 million euros in the form of loans. This public roundtable discussion aims to answer some of the following questions:
- To what degree does the Slovene public support the planned recovery programme?
- Which policies and individual programmes should be given priority?
- Is the planned recovery spending aligned with the Paris agreement on climate change mitigation, adaptation and finance?
- Is support for a Green recovery shared among different age groups of the population?
- Which organisations, political parties or individuals enjoy public trust to see through the full implementation of the National Recovery Plan?

- Andraž Zorko, director of Valicon
