The theme of climate change, environmental protection and biodiversity resonates strongly in public discourse across the Member States of the European Union, and the Conference on the Future of Europe is no exception. Issues related to the environment and climate change were also identified as one of the EU's biggest current challenges and priorities by respondents during the Future of Europe Roadshow in Slovakia, organised by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic. Participants sought answers to the questions of whether the EU has strong enough tools to deliver a sufficiently ambitious climate agenda and meet the expectations of its citizens, and whether we can secure funding for a green transformation in a way that does not jeopardise our global competitiveness. They also reviewed the recommendations of the European Citizens' Panel Discussion on Climate Change, Environment and Health.
