Ove će godine Europski gospodarski i socijalni odbor (EGSO) ponovno sudjelovati na Konferenciji UN-a o klimatskim promjenama 2024. (COP 29), koja će se održati u azerbajdžanskom glavnom gradu Bakuu.
EGSO će predstavljati predsjednik Ad hoc skupine za COP Peter Schmidt i EGSO-ova izaslanica mladih za COP Diandra Ní Bhuachalla. EGSO će na konferenciji podsjetiti na poruke iz svojeg nedavno usvojenog mišljenja o financiranju borbe protiv klimatskih promjena i ponovno pozvati na uključivu i pravednu tranziciju kako bi se osiguralo da se djelovanjem u području klime ne povećavaju socijalne nejednakosti. Ujedno će se zalagati za održive poljoprivredno-prehrambene sustave, obnovljive izvore energije, energetsku učinkovitost, zelene tehnologije i usklađivanje bioraznolikosti i klimatskih ciljeva. Sudjelovanjem na konferenciji COP 29 EGSO nastoji osigurati da se čuje glas europskog civilnog društva i da zaključci te konferencije dovedu do uravnoteženih i socijalno pravednih rješenja za klimatsku krizu.
