What should the top priorities for European Climate Policy be within the changing political landscape (European Parliament elections, renewal of both the European Commission’s President and the European Council’s full-time President, Brexit…)? What are the issues to be tackled next by the incoming EU leaders, and how might the UK retain its leadership role for climate action from outside the European Union?
In this online debate Baroness Worthington and Professor Delbeke, two senior policy-makers and academics with many years of experience in designing climate policies shared their “wish list” of the three top priorities for the EU’s Climate action for the next 5 years.

(former Labour Party spokesperson on Energy and Climate Change; Visiting Research Fellow at University of Cambridge)
- Jos Delbeke
(former Director-General for Climate Action at the European Commission, Professor EUI)
Moderated by:
- Simone Borghesi
(Director, Florence School of Regulation-Climate, EUI)
This online debate is organised in the framework of the Festival d’Europa and in the context of The State of the Union 2019.
