Input to the EU Strategic Agenda 2024-2029

Climate action

The „new strategic agenda 2024-2029′ must set out the priority areas that will steer the work of the European Council and provide guidance for the work programmes of other EU institutions which manage and accelerate the EU’s transition, building on the European Green Deal, towards a fossil-free, socially just, and climate-neutral union.

The leaked draft Outline of the Strategic Agenda from April 2024 was a missed opportunity and generated great concerns over its lack of clarity and determination to build on the EU’s achievements, mainly the European Green Deal, and accelerate action in light of the multiple interlinked crises that the continent and the world overall is facing. A rapid transition to a fossil-free, socially just and climate neutral Europe is the only way to secure a strong, secure, prosperous and democratic Europe. That’s why we urge EU decision makers to reflect the following priorities in the Strategic Agenda1 and its future implementation.
