EU Climate Action

You are receiving this email because you have participated in events organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Climate Action and signed up to receive updates on EU climate action.

With this update, we would like to invite you to respond to three currently open public consultations and share them among your networks.

Open public consultation on the European Climate Pact

The European Green Deal sets out how to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Alongside government policies and regulation, there is a role to play for citizens, communities and organisations in all sectors of our society and economy.

To this end, the European Climate Pact aims to give citizens and stakeholders a voice and role in designing new climate actions, sharing information, launching grassroots activities and showcasing solutions that others can follow. The inputs from the open public consultation will be used to shape the Pact ahead of its launch. The consultation is open until 17 June 2020.

Alongside the online consultation, we would like to offer an opportunity to discuss the Pact more freely during an interactive webinar on 15 June at 13:30-15:30 CET. The webinar is targeted in particular at organisations and networks (formal and informal) interested in learning more about the Pact, and how we can work together. We look forward to discussing with you! Please register HERE.

After the closing of the online consultation, we will organise another webinar for everyone who has responded to the consultation and would like to continue to share ideas and information, and explore opportunities for further cooperation.

Open public consultation on the EU’s 2030 climate ambition increase

As part of the European Green Deal, the Commission will put forward a comprehensive plan to increase the EU’s 2030 climate target in September this year. The plan will propose to increase the EU’s current 2030 target of at least -40% greenhouse gas emission reductions to at least -50% and towards -55%, compared to 1990 emission levels.

The Commission invites all stakeholders and citizens to submit views on the EU’s 2030 climate ambition increase and on the action and policy design necessary for deeper greenhouse gas emission reductions. The consultation is open until 23 June 2020.

Open public consultation on the EU’s strategy on adaptation to climate change

Climate change impacts are here and now. Global and European temperatures have repeatedly broken long-term records in recent years, and the impacts on people, planet and prosperity are already pervasive. The recovery from the current crisis will be an opportunity to make our society more resilient.

Through this consultation, the Commission invites all stakeholders and citizens to submit views on the EU’s new strategy on adaptation to climate change. The consultation is open until 20 August 2020.
