The National Bioenergy Associations Roundtable is an initiative of the World Bioenergy Association (WBA) to strengthen collaboration among national and regional associations working across all bioenergy sectors. These sessions are a platform to share experiences, align strategies, and build a stronger, collective voice for bioenergy globally. Following valuable discussions in past meetings on policies, communication, and fundraising, the WBA is pleased to invite you to the third roundtable of the year. This upcoming session will focus on how bioenergy is positioned in national and regional policy landscapes, and what we can learn from each other.  

Summaries of the previous roundtables are available here: 

National Associations Roundtable 1 (27 Nov 2024): Link
National Associations Roundtable 2 (7 May 2025): Link 


Associations that are actively involved in policy discussions, or that monitor how bioenergy is considered in national energy or climate strategies, are especially encouraged to join and share their insights. 

Agenda*: 

  • Welcome and Opening Remarks 
  • What’s new in Europe?  

Short presentation on recent EU-level policy developments impacting bioenergy 

  • National Policy Landscapes – Peer sharing and reflections 

What is the current policy environment for bioenergy in your country or region? Are there lessons others could learn from your experiences? What is missing from the conversation around national energy strategies? 

  • Opportunities for alignment 

How can associations work together to ensure bioenergy is better understood and represented in national/regional/international frameworks?  

  • Wrap-up and next steps 

Look ahead to Roundtable No. 4
