How does the 'Sevilla process' contribute to the effectiveness of the IED 2.0 in reducing industrial pollution and achieving environmental goals?

This improvement is linked to the EU's revised Industrial Emissions Directive (IED 2.0), which mandates compliance with Best Available Techniques (BAT) for environmental performance. The 'Sevilla process', a collaborative governance model involving industry, member states, and civil society, guides this effort, aiming for a 40% further reduction in major air pollutants by 2050. The success relies on a decoupling of industrial growth from environmental impact, promoting eco-competitiveness.
