What's coming up in the second half of 2021?

Fighting climate change, preserving our environment, acting against global warming… Climate action has been at the heart of the EU’s mission for decades. Let’s take a look at some milestones.

Timeline: European climate action

European regions, be they in one country or across borders, haven't all developed at the same pace. That is why the European Parliament is backing programmes to support EU regions like the European Regional Development Fund and Interreg. MEPs want all regions to have the same opportunities, from social rights to climate action, from transport to public health.

Levelling up: a helping hand for the EU's regions

Parliament's journalism prize named after Daphne Caruana Galizia will open for submissions. MEPs will vote on the Climate Law and the two funds dedicated to the EU's most deprived regions. All that and more, coming up next week.

On top of this, binding rules are needed to encourage biodiversity in our towns and cities.

Biodiversity: Bringing nature back

After an absence of more than a year due to the pandemic, Parliament will hold its first hybrid plenary in Strasbourg. On the agenda, making EU travel easier, celebrating European cinema with the LUX Audience Award, international cooperation and development and much more.
