The stakeholder consultation covers the type of transformations required, its level of ambition, key actions to achieve this transformation, including interactions with other ongoing transformations, the societal and economic challenges and opportunities, the role of the consumer, the need for investment and innovation. It will also address technical questions on the potential of some mitigation options.
