Climate Action and Development: Will the EU Lead the Way to Ambitious Global Commitments in 2015?

2015 is a crucial year for climate action as governments will seek to agree three major international policy frameworks with long-term implications. The EU plays important and multiple roles in all of these processes: as cooperating partner for developing countries, as contributor of finance to development and climate action, and as one of the greatest economies and country coalitions on this planet with a substantial carbon and ecological footprint. The expert meeting will discuss the nexus of Climate Change and Development as well as the role EU has to play to ensure ambitious global commitments. It will bring together key players from the European Commission, the European External Action Service, Members of European Parliament, Academia and Thinktanks, and NGOs, including representatives from developing countries.
