European and national just transitions

Supporting fair and effective climate policies from the local to European levels

We stand at a crucial juncture. European countries are currently designing and implementing the policies that will determine whether we achieve our climate ambitions. This includes the European Green Deal, a historic package of policy initiatives launched in 2019, which aims to put the EU on the path to climate neutrality by 2050. As governments devise and implement these policies, we are working to ensure climate policy is recognised as central to Europe’s economic resilience, security and social stability, while ensuring that EU level outcomes reinforce – rather than undermine – strategy and delivery at regional, national and local levels.

To achieve this, climate policy must be fair, effective, and reflect citizens’ priorities, successfully implemented and resilient to electoral cycles.
