The European Climate Pact has joined forces with the Committee of the Regions (CoR) to empower local communities and drive discussions on climate policy and action on the ground, gather feedback and rally support for the European Green Deal and the future of EU climate policy.
What are European Climate Pact Going Local Talks?
The Pact Going Local Talks are interactive events hosted by CoR Climate Pact Ambassadors and focus on a specific climate-related topic of interest to the local community.
You can join the talks across different European cities to share best practices, perspectives and ideas with local authorities and the public. Take part in the discussion and help shape climate action in your community and beyond.
The themes include:
- Climate policy and action on the ground
- Adaptation, preparedness and resilience
- Social and economic dimension of the green transition
How can I join the Pact Going Local Talks?
You can find details on each Pact Going Local Talk below and on the events page. We invite you to get involved and help influence local decisions on climate action.
