Mark your calendars and your syllabi for Conversations on Europe! This series of moderated hybrid roundtables bring together experts with diverse perspectives to discuss contemporary issues facing Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship.
This academic year, our Conversations on Europe will focus on European Sustainability.
As reported by the UN, 83% of the global population wants their governments to take stronger action on climate change. And in response to this desire, the European Union seeks to lead the way in fostering sustainability and climate responses. Hallmarks of initiatives like the European Green Deal, the EU Climate Law, and the Net-Zero Industry Act, are a commitment to becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050; cutting 55% of net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030; and planting 3 billion additional trees in the EU by 2030.
Will Europe achieve its goals? Do these initiatives respond sufficiently to the European citizens’ concerns? What lessons can we learn for our own considerations of sustainable development?
Join the conversation each month with our invited academics, activists, and policy makers. And let’s think about what works together.
