Dialogue with young climate strike leaders, scientists, economists, to scale up EU ambition and obtain financial guarantees to win the climate battle
Members of the S&D Group at the European Parliament, with the support of the Foundation for European progressive Studies and Notre Europe Institute Jacques Delors, have invited in the European Parliament young climate strikers, leading experts in climate science, economics and law, to explore concrete solutions and specify what additional guarantees are needed for enough budgetary resources to make the Green Deal win the climate battle, before the new Commission is installed.
Are the responses from EU policymakers commensurate with the climate challenge? Are the promises for a Green Deal and a Climate law enough to win the climate battle? Is there sufficient serious commitment to allocate enough budgetary and financial resources to make the Green Deal a success?

The climate investment needs are evaluated at 1 115 billion € per year(European Court of Auditors) but so far Ursula von der Leyen only committed maximum 116 additional billion € per year (Climate bank + Sustainable Investment fund).
The Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament fought hard and obtained strong commitments from Ursula von der Leyen, including a Green Deal, a Climate Law and a Climate Bank. But so far the resources allocated are far from enough to make the Green Deal a success.
Among the concrete solutions to face the historical climate challenge, will be discussed the so-called “Climate-Employment Pact”, promoted for a long time by Teresa Ribera, Josep Borrel, Miguel Moratinos, Laurent Fabius, Enrico Letta, Karl Falkenberg, Denis MacShane and many others . This “Climate-Employment Pact” is capable of mobilising 400 billion € per year for climate investment and create more than 5 million jobs without taxing common citizens.
