Lobbying for the FF55

Fit For 55 legislation aim to align the EU’s core climate and energy legislation with the new 2030 climate target, cutting net emissions to at least 55% compared to 1990. In this workshop, we will go over the basics of the EU co-decision procedure from the perspective of the main files CAN Europe is working on, covering our policy coordinators, aspects such as tools (i.e. policy tracker) and main positions, so members are better equipped when lobbying

How can the EGD implementation contribute to social justice?

This is an external event where social justice organisations will be invited

Climate policies must include a social-justice dimension. Failure to design socially just polices will hit the most vulnerable, raise fears of adverse social impacts and potentially help the fossil fuel lobby. This panel discussion will serve as a platform to open the debate and compare thoughts and ideas on how to strike a balance between these issues with social
justice actors.
