On the 25th of June 2024 the Dutch 4i-Traction national outreach event was held. The event took place in The Hague and attracted 30 participants from a wide array of organizations that play key roles in the transition towards a climate-neutral Europe. During the day interesting presentations were given by Benjamin Görlach, Sebastian Oberthür, Harm Rienks and Joeri Vendrik.

Highlights of the day include:

• A lively panel discussion with Judith Sargentini, Benjamin Görlach, and Sebastian Oberthür on what the incoming European Parliament will mean for the future of green policies;
• Parties that want to slowdown climate change mitigation policies do not receive more votes in Dutch municipalities that emit a lot of greenhouse gases;
• The 4I-TRACTION policy avenues map very well on the different EU party families. As such, there are big differences in the policy preferences between EU party groups that nonetheless agree on wanting to stop climate change;
• Central infrastructure planning and green public procurement can be key policy instruments to accelerate the transition towards a climate-neutral economy.
