The new EU Nature Restoration Law is the first continent-wide, comprehensive law of its kind and is a key element of the EU Biodiversity Strategy, which sets binding targets to restore degraded ecosystems, in particular those with the most potential to capture and store carbon and to prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters.
This webinar will present core information on the Nature Restoration Law and related activities and investigate the potential of standardization to support the objectives of the Nature Restoration Law and biodiversity policy in general.

Join this webinar to know more about how we can make standards work for SMEs! The webinar, organised by Small Business Standards and CEN and CENELEC, will explore how CEN-CENELEC Guide 17 helps ensure that standards are developed with SMEs in mind, making them simpler to implement. We'll discuss the key elements of the guide, why it's crucial for the broader uptake of standards, and how making standards SME-friendly benefits all businesses. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how much you have to gain from using Guide 17 and how its use can contribute to ensure standards contribute to the competitiveness of SMEs and the wider economy.

This training will equip TCs and their Working Groups (WGs) on how to use the “Tailored Guidance for Standardization Technical Committees” to identify climate issues in their standards and to address these in line with the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. This training will identify TCs and WGs that identify as able to proceed with minimum further assistance, and those that require more support on climate change adaptation from our experts.

The standardization of Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is both challenging and crucial for establishing IS as a common industrial practice, essential for achieving the EU's circularity goals and “zero” ambitions. The RISERS EU-funded project addresses this challenge by developing a comprehensive roadmap for IS standardization. The approach focuses on optimizing existing standards, such as those for the circular economy, and identifying gaps where new standards are needed.

This webinar is organized by the CEN-CENELEC SABE Topic Group Circular Economy (SABE CE-TG) with the objective of providing guidance to CEN and CENELEC technical bodies in the preparation of circular economy related standards. This workshop will provide participants with practical information regarding standardization activities and best practices related to circular economy and material efficiency topics from National, European and International standardization.

This webinar will provide an overview of the rights of the 'Annex III organizations' - ANEC, ECOS, ETUC and SBS - in the CEN and CENELEC Technical Bodies and their added-value to the European Standardization System.

A CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) is a deliverable developed and agreed by the participants of a temporary working group called CEN and/or CENELEC Workshop.

European Standards are at the core of the Single Market. Over the last 30 years, the European Standardization System has delivered more than 3600 harmonized standards, allowing industry and SMEs to demonstrate compliance with EU law in a resource and cost-efficient way.

CountEmissions EU will ensure better comparability and transparency of GHG emissions of passengers and freight transport services thereby incentivising behavioural change among businesses and customers towards reducing GHG emissions and making transport services more efficient. EN ISO 14083, newly published in 2023, provides an internationally recognized basis upon which can be used for this.

The objective of this webinar is to describe the new process for harmonized standards that are developed in parallel with ISO and IEC. The goal of this new process is to improve the timely delivery of compliant EN ISO/IEC harmonised Standards, by building on principles of the innovative process, while minimizing interferences with international project timeframes. The new process applies to all projects under parallel development reaching the CD stage at ISO and IEC level.
