On Wednesday 16 December, the European Commission is launching a European Climate Pact aiming to bring together citizens to accelerate climate action.
In December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, the EU’s plan for a fair, healthy, sustainable and prosperous societal transformation. However, the success of the Green Deal will hinge on whether citizens, communities, companies and organisations can play their part, alongside government policies and regulation.
There is also a demand for stronger action coming from citizens and, building on the momentum of the youth movement, public opinion surveys show that nine out of ten Europeans see climate change as a serious problem.
