Empowering Citizens for a Greener Europe: join the European Climate Pact

The European Climate Pact continues its mission to inspire climate action with a series of initiatives this October. From educational webinars to the ambassador call, these initiatives are designed to engage citizens, amplify their voices, and drive sustainable change. Whether you're new to climate action or an expert advocate, there's something for everyone to get involved and make a difference. Here’s how you can participate.

The EU Climate Action Academy is launching its first webinar titled *“Engaging Citizens in Climate Action: Fostering Behavioural Change” on October 1. Whether you're just starting your climate journey or looking to scale up your efforts, the EU Climate Action Academy offers a wealth of knowledge, tools, and interactive events to help drive climate action forward. This first webinar will provide insights on how to inspire behavioural shifts that can have lasting positive impacts on the environment. Upcoming courses will also cover critical topics such as effective communication on climate issues, influencing policymakers, and leveraging science to make climate connections. Start learning and register here for the webinar! 

The European Climate Pact is also excited to announce the new call for Climate Pact Ambassadors, running from 1 to 31 October. This is your chance to lead climate action in your community, inspire others, and play a key role in shaping the future of Europe’s climate initiatives. As an Ambassador, you’ll join a dynamic network of changemakers, gain access to exclusive events and courses, and valuable tools to amplify your impact.
