  1. Highlights - ENVI Conference “From Promise to Action - 10 years of the Paris Agreement” - Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety

    To mark the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement, the ENVI Committee is organising a conference that will take place on Thursday 11 December, from 13:00 to 16:00, in Brussels. It will gather actors of the Paris Agreement, including Laurent Fabius, the Chair of COP21, and stakeholders representing different interests, such as the scientific community, business and civil society.

    The anniversary of the Paris Agreement provides an opportunity to take stock of progress and shortcomings, both globally and from EU's point of view, after the COP30 UNFCCC meeting. The conference "From Promise to Action - 10 years of the Paris Agreement" will therefore aim to assess what has been achieved, identify gaps and reaffirm the EU's global leadership in climate action. It will include keynote speeches from high-level speakers, followed by a roundtable where Members and the audience will be able to take the floor.

    The registration link is available here.

    During the exchange of views, Members will have the opportunity to engage with the Commission and key stakeholders on the current state of accessibility across the EU and discuss what further actions may be required.

    The Western Balkans region stands at a critical crossroads for democracy, challenged by rising disinformation campaigns that exploit social divisions and fuel political polarisation, ultimately undermining democratic institutions and sowing scepticism toward European integration.

    In the morning of 2 December, the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) and the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS) will hold a joint public hearing and discuss ways to effectively counter disinformation and FIMI in the Western Balkans, strengthen its democratic institutions, build public trust, and focus on the role the EU can play in this process.

    Critical infrastructure across the EU, especially in the energy, transport and telecommunications sector, is increasingly targeted by foreign actors. Using investment leverage, cyberattacks, hybrid operations and other modes of physical sabotage, such actors threaten essential services and democratic resilience.
