Our National focal points Cluster meeting focusing today on #GlobalEurope & #GlobalGateway Encouraging our partners to mobilise their local leaders to push for greater involvement of #LocalGov #LocalGov mentioned in @europarl.europa.eu interim report on #MFF adopted yesterday by MEPs 👏
Climate justice starts where people live, say climate leader Marcele Oliveira and sustainability scientist Mark Mc Akrofi in a cross-interview. Local communities, youth voices & #localgov must shape climate action, not just adapt to decisions made elsewhere. platforma-dev.eu/interview-cl...
🔊 This week, #MEPs have adopted the #GlobalGateway report by Chloé Ridel & Hilde Bentele. This report is aligned with our positions as it specifically calls for the @ec.europa.eu to recognise the necessary involvement of cities & regions for the success of the Global Gateway strategy.
The conclusions of this 2-day Climate Academy are clear: As climate impacts intensify, cities & regions stand at the frontlines of both risk & opportunity. But shared responsibility is key to effective #ClimateAction If you want to get informed about our future training, register eepurl.com/jyh51A
