Progressives in Europe must lead a Just Transition that respects the natural limits of our planet. We need a long-term strategy with sufficient investment for the transition to zero-net emissions by 2050 and to fully work to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. This is crucial if we want to try to ensure a halt to global warming and environmental pollution, to protect biodiversity and improving air quality and to improve the well-being of all citizens. Europe needs to deal with the challenges climate change is bringing to all parts of the population, such as droughts, sever snowstorms, floods, spread of new diseases.
