The First 100 Days: EU Climate Leadership or Standstill?
The first 100 days of the new European Commission set the tone for its five-year mandate and demonstrate its commitment to climate action in a changing political landscape. These early decisions will shape the future of the European Green Deal (EGD), the EU’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets, and its role in global climate diplomacy. This event will critically assess the Commission’s climate actions, their alignment with the EU’s objectives and their impact on Member States and the global agenda.
