On the occasion of #LE2CDay2026, LE2C is organising a discussion dedicated to decarbonisation, material recovery and the circular economy to strengthen the resilience of energy systems and accelerate the sustainable transition.
On 14 April 2026, as part of the annual #LE2CDay2026 event, LE2C will focus the debate on a crucial issue for our future: how to transform the climate challenge into an opportunity for innovation and sustainable development.
The conference “Climate Challenge: Innovative solutions and resilience strategies to tackle climate change” will offer a practical approach to the impacts of climate change, promoting innovative solutions and operational strategies for the resilience of industrial systems.
The event will be held on 14 April 2026 at the Politecnico di Milano - EN:lab | Dipartimento di Energia, Edificio 31, Via Lambruschini - 20156 Milano.
This year, the focus will be on three key areas:
- European and regional climate policies;
- Innovative technologies for material recovery and the decarbonisation of energy systems;
- Operational strategies for resilience and adaptation to climate change.
This will be an opportunity to explore how the circular economy, technological innovation and collaboration between public and private actors can generate concrete and measurable impacts.

THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
The conference programme will consist of a series of institutional and technical presentations designed to offer an integrated view of the policies and solutions in the field.
It will open with an in-depth look at the Lombardy Region's climate policies, thanks to the contribution of the Councillor for the Environment and Climate, Giorgio Maione, who will illustrate the regional strategic guidelines for addressing environmental challenges in the coming years.
This will be followed by a focus on the shared commitment of businesses and citizens on the path to climate neutrality, with a speech by the Ambassador of the Climate Pact, Gianni Tartari, who will bring a European perspective on the concrete actions needed to accelerate the transition.
Ample space will be dedicated to innovative projects related to material recovery, with an in-depth look at the experiences of Tech4Lib and F.O.S.F.O.R.O., concrete examples of howS.F research and innovation can generate scalable solutions to support the circular economy and energy sustainability.
The conference will conclude with a discussion between companies, institutions and operators in the sector, during which operational strategies for resilience and adaptation to climate change will be analysed, promoting a dialogue aimed at identifying tools and collaborations capable of producing measurable impacts in the medium and long term.
A concrete opportunity to share visions, strengthen the innovation ecosystem and respond to climate challenges with a systemic and future-oriented approach.
