The purpose of the meeting is to bring together representatives of civil society organisations, members of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), and, if possible, Members of the European Parliament for a conversation on the responsibilities that follow from the EU's growing role as a guarantor of a rules-based international order, and of the multilateral institutions within the UN system that underpin global climate action. The discussion would explore how governments, international organisations, faith communities, and EU institutions such as the EESC can act to safeguard, strengthen, and secure the long-term financing of the institutions and processes needed to address the climate crisis.
