Letter signing for climate action:
make your voice heard
As part of the Paris Climate Leadership Training, we invite you to take action by signing two critical letters.
The first letter, addressed to the European Commission, calls for the formal adoption of the 2040 climate target, an ambitious EU NDC, and increased climate finance for a just energy transition.
The second letter, addressed to national governments, urges them to align with these goals by committing to strong national policies, redirecting fossil fuel subsidies, and ensuring a fair and inclusive energy transition. Your participation helps amplify a collective call for urgent and ambitious climate action across Europe and beyond.
