Coiste Eacnamaíoch agus Sóisialta na hEorpa
An 11 Nollaig 2019, sheol an Coimisiún Eorpach an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip lena dtreisítear tiomantas an Aontais dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin a bhaineann leis an aeráid agus leis an gcomhshaol, arb é cúram sainithe na glúine seo é. Is é is cuspóir don Chomhaontú Glas don Eoraip geilleagar nua-aimseartha iomaíoch atá tíosach ar acmhainní a dhéanamh den Aontas, rud lena n-áiritheofar an méid seo a leanas:
Chun an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip a chur i gcrích, tá pacáiste cuimsitheach tionscnamh á chur i gcrích ag an Aontas, lena n-áirítear tograí beartais agus reachtacha mar aon le forbairt agus nuachóiriú na n-ionstraimí maoiniúcháin.
Bhí sé á iarraidh ag CESE go mbeadh ‘Comhaontú Glas agus Sóisialta’ ann, agus béim á leagan aige ar an dlúthnasc idir an Comhaontú Glas agus ceartas sóisialta. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go n-éistfear le tuairimí na ngeallsealbhóirí uile chun na cuideachtaí inbhuanaithe iomaíocha a bheidh ann amach anseo a chothú i dtimpeallacht shláintiúil.
Leis an gComhaontú Glas don Eoraip, leagadh béim láidir ar infheistíocht agus ar mhaoiniú an aistrithe ghlais agus inbhuanaithe. Is é an Comhaontú Glas a thabharfaidh an Eoraip slán ó phaindéim COVID-19. Is le haon trian de na hinfheistíochtaí ón bPlean Téarnaimh Next Generation EU dar luach 1.8 trilliún euro, agus le buiséad seacht mbliana an Aontais a mhaoinítear an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip. Tá sé i gceist leis na deiseanna cistiúcháin nua sin leas a bhaint as an ngéarchéim chun todhchaí na hEorpa a mhúnlú.
Tá ról ríthábhachtach ag CESE maidir le faireachán a dhéanamh ar chur chun feidhme thionscnaimh agus ghníomhaíochtaí an Chomhaontaithe Ghlais don Eoraip. Ullmhaíonn CESE tuairimí agus eagraíonn sé gníomhaíochtaí (féach an roghchlár ar thaobh na láimhe clé den leathanach seo) chun a áirithiú go gcuireann institiúidí an Aontais tuairimí na sochaí sibhialta eagraithe san áireamh agus go bhfuil tionscnaimh an Chomhaontaithe Ghlais ag teacht leis na cúinsí eacnamaíocha, sóisialta agus sibhialta ar an láthair.
Mar gheall ar a idirdhisciplíní agus a uilechuimsithí atá sé, cumhdaítear an Comhaontú Glas don Eoraip le rannóga uile CESE agus CCMI.
On 2 May 2023, the Liberal Professions Category of the EESC held the 7th edition of the Day of the Liberal Professions in Brussels. This annual event brings together key players from Europe's liberal professions, as well as key policymakers from the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Member States. This year's event was entitled Fostering skills and delivering the Green Deal.
The transition towards a low-carbon economy is a fundamental priority. But the green transition will fail without social dialogue. This represented a general agreement among the discussions during the meeting, particularly if climate policies were not made also socially sustainable and did not take into account the needs and worries of working people, of citizens. Key points raised during the debates included the fact that real wages were decreasing with the soaring inflation, the complementarity of fighting climate change and protecting social rights, and the fundamental role of involving Trade Unions in the design and implementation of policies within the Green Deal.
Academia, local civil society organisations, representatives of regional and national authorities and members of the European Economic and Social Committee met at a conference in Dolni Vítkovice, a former industrial area for coal mining and steel production in Ostrava, on 11 October 2022.

In its resolution on the involvement of organised civil society in the implementation and monitoring of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) the European Economic and Social Committee calls for clear rules to effectively involve social partners and civil society organisations in the Member states' strategies to bring the economy back on track.
