The EESC is organising a public hearing to feed into a timely own-initiative opinion which will examine civil society proposals on how to reform climate governance, including decision-making processes, negotiation frameworks, and the participation and impact of civil society organisations at global climate summits. It will also assess how international climate litigation is shaping climate negotiations and may further influence the governance of the UNFCCC, particularly in light of the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion of 23 July 2025.
Cette année, le séminaire «Connecter l’UE», manifestation annuelle de communication du CESE à l’intention des spécialistes de la communication de la société civile, se penchera sur la capacité de l’Europe à défendre ses valeurs fondamentales à mesure que ses priorités économiques changent et que la confiance démocratique et les espaces civiques sont soumis à des pressions de plus en plus intenses, ainsi que sur la manière dont la société civile peut défendre ces valeurs.
