On November 16-17 in 2023, we organized the 'Policy and Values' Conference in Warsaw, during which we gathered all the key issues that our Association addresses. We subjected these issues to various aspects of panel discussions.

In the times of growing geopolitical rivalry, external shocks, and calls for friendshoring, understanding of EU climate policy as an international policy becomes a question of both values & realism. Firstly, if the European Green Deal is to be meaningful for reducing emissions of CO2 and thus mitigating harmful effects of climate breakdown (which are already hitting the Global South the hardest), they have to be a part of a wider International Green Deal.
Secondly, Europe needs resources and materials from the Global South to implement the transition. 🌐💼Thirdly, if European climate policies are to be an effective element of strengthening Europe’s soft power internationally, they need to offer a real (sustainable) deal to the countries of the Global South in terms of trade that would be fairer and more attractive than offers of the competing undemocratic geopolitical power block. 🌍💹
