Each HUSZPO conference featured over 100 professional papers and several round tables on various topics. More than 300 professionals, scientists, government representatives, local and regional government representatives, NGOs, public relations experts, media representatives, and investors from Croatia, the region, and beyond attended each conference.

To further enhance the quality and reach of the conference by involving experts from across Europe, in 2022, we expanded the scope to a European level, aligning with the European Green Deal.

All five previous regional conferences (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022) organized by HUSZPO on environmental impact assessment were extremely successful. Building on a strong foundation of success, the 2025 Conference in Opatija will continue the legacy of five highly successful regional conferences on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) held from 2013 to 2022. These past events consistently attracted over 300 attendees, including professionals, scientists, and government officials from Croatia and beyond, featuring over 100 professional papers and insightful roundtable discussions.

The Conference in Opatija is a direct result of these discussions and represents the next step toward concrete solutions
and guidelines for implementing the Dubrovnik conclusions.

The result of all previous HUSZPO events in one place

Following the successful Symposium on Linkages Between Sustainable Finance and Environmental Procedures, held on October 3-4, 2024, in Dubrovnik, HUSZPO and RSFIA are proud to announce the Conference in Opatija, which will further explore key topics and focus on implementing the conclusions from Dubrovnik.

🔍  Key Takeaways from the Dubrovnik Symposium:

✔ Better interoperability between the EU Taxonomy and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA/SEA) is needed to ensure an integrated approach to sustainable finance

✔ EIA processes should recognize the positive contributions of projects, not just potential negative impacts

✔ Aligning the EU Taxonomy’s minimum social safeguards with the standards of international financial institutions is crucial

✔ Financial institutions and private sector stakeholders must play a more active role in adapting to sustainable finance regulations
