Beginning our podcasting journey: Europe Climate Connection
In 2022, CAN Europe launched “Europe Climate Connection”, a podcast that gives a voice to CAN Europe’s members, bringing their areas of expertise closer to other members and audiences. The 20 minute episodes present climate and energy challenges in a dynamic and engaging way, taking the public on a journey around Europe as they listen. From the promises and expectations tied to COP, to Ireland’s building renovation and heating decarbonisation, we learnt more about our members’ work and about the hot topics discussed around the continent.
So join us in our latest project and listen to our episodes on:

Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe is Europe’s leading NGO coalition fighting dangerous climate change.
With over 180 member organisations active in 38 European countries, representing over 1,700 NGOs and more than 40 million citizens, CAN Europe promotes sustainable climate, energy and development policies throughout Europe. CAN Europe is a regional node of Climate Action Network, the world’s largest environmental network with over 1,700 Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) active in more than 130 countries, driving collective and sustainable action to fight the climate crisis and to achieve social and racial justice by convening and coordinating civil society at the UN climate talks and other international fora.
CAN Europe members work to achieve this goal through joint actions, information exchange and the coordinated development of NGO strategy on international, regional, and national climate issues. CAN Europe members place a high priority on both a healthy environment and development that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission). CAN Europe’s vision is to protect the atmosphere while allowing for sustainable and equitable development worldwide.
