European Climate Pact – Framework for Information and Participation of the Public to the Climate Change Challenge 12

Summary/Abstract: The EU's response to the climate challenge was expressed in a comprehensive approach, with medium-term objectives of reducing GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and in the long term, achieving climate neutrality in 2050. It comprises the Green Deal (2019, as a programmatic,strategic document), the European climate law (Regulation) (in the adoption procedure, which forms the legal pillar) and the Climate Pact(2020, which is the procedure for consultation, involvement and ownership of the EU's green transition policy). Included in this strategic triple, the Climate Pact is a public policy instrument, a procedure for consultation and public participation in decision-making and, in so doing,a new formula for affirming environmental democracy. With limited legal significance, it is part of the new political-legal instruments that help t ocreate a climate right with a universal and intergenerational vocation.
