EU's pivot to defence spending and simplified CSR reporting is diverting attention from cleantech, according to Green MEP Michael Bloss, a member of the newly relaunched parliamentary Cleantech Friendship Group.

The European Commission has recently announced a major funding package for defence, as well as rollbacks in CSR reporting deadlines. Funders in the cleantech industry are understandably nervous about what that means for the climate crisis.
