Dear Heads of States and Ministers,
As the largest coalition of youth-led organizations at the European level, Generation Climate Europe, along with more than 10 other youth-led organizations, of which represent more than 30 million Young Europeans, we are asking you to take action. More specifically, we are asking you to ensure that the EU will preserve both our and our families’ future – which is also your future. Climate Change can no longer be ignored in political decisions, as it is accelerating and becoming more serious than anticipated by IPCC experts. In 2020, the permafrost in Canada’s Arctic Islands drastically defrosted to levels that climate models were only predicting to happen in 2090. Experts say a +6°C trajectory is now probable.
Today, we have two important requests in this regard, and your political leadership is and will be crucial in their achievement.
