The Youth climate and sustainability roundtables are a space for regular, structured and meaningful dialogue between youth and EU decision-makers.
Each roundtable is focusing on a specific topic and each time a group of around 10 youth representatives meet with the European Commissioner responsible for the selected issue. After each event, the youth representatives submit a document of policy demands to the Commissioner.
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will host this second roundtable and Virginijus Sinkevičius, European Commissioner for the environment, oceans and fisheries, will participate in the event and engage with the youth representatives on the topic ‘Protecting ecosystems and restoring biodiversity’.
Youth representatives will submit their policy demands in the following areas:
- Addressing overconsumption in Europe
- Education on biodiversity and genetic diversity
- Biodiversity mainstreaming in EU policies and target setting
- Specific policies (cities and agriculture)
