Thematic scope

The goals and role of Climate Summits in the global struggle against climate change. The achievements of UN climate policy, with a special emphasis on COP26 in Glasgow. The Paris Agreement of 2015 – where are we 7 years later? The European position for COP27 – main premises, challenges: forestation, decarbonisation, reduced emissions, electromobility. Climate goals in a world of instability, tensions and crises. The fallout of the pandemic in Europe: its impact on the achievement of climate policy and green transformation goals, their hierarchisation and the availability of tools. Rebuilding a low-emissions Ukraine – a vision. Global resource and raw material management in an era of geopolitical upheavals and fierce competition between global economic powers. Women and climate change: unequal impact burden, leadership and women's participation in the transition to climate neutrality.
