On 21 September 2021, the European Leadership Network (ELN) convened the Contact Group on Russia-West relations via Zoom to discuss the prospects for EU-Russia climate engagement.

The meeting aimed to 1) discuss the implications of the energy transition and the EU’s Green Deal for Russia; 2) identify areas of mutual interest and potential joint activities between the EU and Russia on climate-related subjects; 3) debunk common misperceptions about the EU Green Deal (and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and other measures).
