Back in May 2023, Members of the European Parliament organised a landmark “Beyond Growth” conference. This was a clear sign of growing awareness that the climate emergency demands radical societal and economic changes.

Furthermore, discussions on moving beyond growth are coming at the same time that the first round of European Green Deal policies are becoming ready for implementation in Member States. In other words: now is the time to follow-up on the Beyond Growth conference, to ask how local implementation of the Green Deal can make radical change a reality.

Join ICLEI Europe, ECOLISE, and the European Economic and Social Committee to dig deeper.

The event will shed light on the European Green Deal, the need for radically changed lifestyles, and the crucial role that community- and government-led local action for sustainability plays in reaching societal change.
