An online dialogue following the launch of the book “Climate change and the future of Europe: views from the capitals” is set to take place on 14 June 2023, as organized by TEPSA together with the European Institute of Romania (EIR).
While the ambitious objectives outlined in the EU’s Green Deal aim at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, national implementation greatly varies depending on local geographies, history, culture, economics, and politics. As part of the ongoing efforts of the TEPSA Network to analyse pan-European climate action, TEPSA and the European Institute of Romania (EIR) are co-organising the public debate “Climate Change and the Future of Europe” on June 14, starting at 13:30 CET (14:30 EET). Thus public debate takes place online via Zoom.
