Mobilization for and against climate change: Parties, Youth and Lobbies

Abstract

In a crisis-ridden EU, climate and energy policy is often seen as a respite – an area that provides a positive agenda of which the EU is in short supply. For example, the EU is preparing its long-term strategy aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 and reviewing its just-adopted 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework, as public mobilization for climate issues, such as the Youth for Climate movement, continues making headlines. This panel examines political and public mobilization for climate mitigation. Overall, the panel contribute to debates on how democratic and participatory climate and energy policy and approaches of a “just transition” help articulate more ambitious climate policies.
