The European
Committee of the Regions (CoR), in cooperation with the Bratislava–Petržalka Youth Parliament in Slovakia, organized a digital info session on
the opportunities brought by the European
Green Deal, the EU's strategy to reach climate neutrality by 2050.
Mr Vincent
Chauvet (FR/Renew Europe), Mayor of Autun and CoR
Rapporteur of the Opinion "Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition towards COP26", engaged in a debate with the members of the youth parliament to present the key
priorities of the European Green Deal and the opportunities for cities and regions.
The CoR initiative Green Deal Going Local and the CoR Interactive Map on Green Deal stories were
presented to inspire the youth parliament with projects and initiatives run at
local and regional level.
The members of the youth
parliament debated with the CoR Member Vincent Chauvet on three main
topics:
- The European Green Deal: what are the
opportunities for my city?
- How the European Green Deal can be
implemented at local and regional level?
- Sharing of knowledge and best practices.
